Bring on the trumpets! (RS content)

Yes; it IS as good as they say it is.

Still not had the chance to kick it's RS as it's only got 200 miles on the clock. Steering is fantastic, handling / grip are both fantastic, it sounds fantastic, looks fantastic; it's just fantastic!

I've never driven a FWD car like it (never driven an R26 tho).

It seems to get lots of attention too - my Dad was taken aback when some random guy got him to sit at the traffic lights while he got his mobile out to take a picture.

They are nice, but is it just me or does all the black moulded plastic at the front make it look cheap?

Nice, did you get the update put in your the owners book, IIRC the wrong oil specs are printed and there is revised breaking in proceedures/advise.

Re: Bring on the trumpets! (RS content)

Glad he went for the blue, white and green are just fads. The blue will continue to look fantastic in years to come.

Haven't spotted it mate - what is the breaking in process? - we've been pretty careful.

it matters not, you get to drive it

Re: Bring on the trumpets! (RS content)

Looks stunning.

Not sure which one I prefer, that or the white one, they both look amazing. Would love a drive of one.

 

[Jaff]

Re: Bring on the trumpets! (RS content)

i think its basically wait till full operating temperature is reached before opening the taps. do not exceed 5k rpm and use no more than 3/4 throttle for 1000 miles. and i cant remember the exact specs of the oils, i'll post the update up tomorrow from work, its supposed to be a pre delivery "feild service action" (a recall).

I would have taken white or green everytime until I saw this one this afternoon.

I wouldn't be fussy about the colour now - I like all three!
