Peugeot RCZ Overview

Background
The Peugeot RCZ began as a concept car in 2007; it was then put into production in 2009 before being put into production in 2010. It has received much critical acclaim, being voted the ‘Best Coupe’ at the Auto Express New Car Awards in 2011 for a second time, as well as being voted the ‘Coupe of the Year’ at the Top Gear Magazine Awards in 2010.
The RCZ comes with four seat rather than five, yet the rear seats aren’t exactly spacious so you might struggle with 4 passengers. The RCZ also comes with the choice of 4 optional packs; the Monaco Kit, the Elan Kit, the Sportif Kit and a 19 inch Alloys kit.
Summary
The Peugeot RCZ is a brilliant piece of engineering that really looks the part. It provides a great drive, offers the choice of two good engines and as a result is seen as one of the best cars in its class.
