Peugeot RCZ (2009-2015) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Entertaining to drive	Cramped rear seats
Surprisingly practical for a coupe	Some reliability issues
The RCZ R is very quick	The looks aren't to all tastes

Quick Summary

The Peugeot RCZ (2009-2015) is a stylish and entertaining 2+2 coupe that defied expectations when it launched. Based on the 308 hatchback but featuring distinctive design cues including a double-bubble roof and striking silver roof arches, the RCZ proved that Peugeot could create a seductive sports car. Available with 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engines in three power outputs (154bhp, 197bhp, and 266bhp in the RCZ R) or a 163bhp 2.0-litre HDi diesel, the RCZ delivers engaging driving dynamics and surprising practicality for its class. A 2013 facelift refreshed the front grille and specification levels.

The RCZ offers a useful 384-litre boot and reasonable running costs thanks to its shared 308 underpinnings and mass-produced engines. The 2.0 HDi achieves 54mpg, whilst the potent RCZ R manages 44mpg. Servicing is competitively priced through Peugeot's fixed-price scheme, and insurance groups range from 27-33 for mainstream models to group 42 for the RCZ R. Whilst the rear seats are cramped and some reliability issues exist, the RCZ remains an attractive proposition on the second-hand market, particularly for those seeking a distinctive, fun-to-drive coupe at an affordable price.

Best for: Drivers seeking a stylish, entertaining coupe with practical everyday usability, those wanting affordable sports car thrills, and buyers interested in the ultra-rare, high-performance RCZ R variant.

Not ideal for: Families needing spacious rear seating, those prioritising premium badge appeal, or buyers concerned about potential reliability issues without specialist inspection.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the RCZ if: You're seeking a stylish, entertaining coupe with practical everyday usability, want affordable sports car thrills, or are interested in the ultra-rare, high-performance RCZ R variant.

Consider alternatives if: You need spacious rear seating, prioritise premium badge appeal, or are concerned about potential reliability issues without specialist inspection.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot RCZ (2009-2015) stands out as a distinctive and entertaining coupe offering excellent value for money. Whilst the Audi TT commands a premium for its badge and refinement, and the Alpine A110 represents the ultimate driving experience, the RCZ delivers engaging dynamics and surprising practicality at a significantly lower price point. It matches the Volkswagen Scirocco for user satisfaction and value, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers seeking style and performance without compromise. The RCZ R variant provides genuine sports car credentials at an affordable price, making it a compelling alternative to more expensive rivals.
