My uncle went and picked up his new car today and although i was dead against them first after seeing it in the flesh i soon changed my mind..



One word describes this car.. Fantastic.

Really comfy inside, built well, and the electronic gauges are next level

Hits 80 before you even realise and does it so smoothley.

Definatly one of the best cars iv been in.

 

id rather have old RS, but i heard those cars are mint, great power etc, but if you hit the front its VERY costly?

 

My view on it is if you can aford to buy one you can afford to fix one lol

 

ive got a m8 that does mobile tyre fitting. he did a set of 4 on a new skyline last week.
Ł600 EACH on the rear, Ł500 EACH on the front, thats Ł2200 for tyres.
and aparently he needs a new set every 8-10,000 miles

 

this whole world of 4wd sytems that can brake or accelerate each wheel on its own must wear tires at a crazy rate....

braking a wheel at 70+ to keep the car stable if even for a short moment must put a lot of heat into the tire...

 

The road tax alone is just under a grand

 

A friend of mine has one and his first service bill was over Ł4500

 

How does a brand new car that has warranty cost 4500 to service?

 

For the 1st year then its Ł435 a year

 

i'm sure given the choice of the 2 you'd have GTR in reality.. yes if you do some forum trawling it does look like some front end shunts cost the insurance companies.. then again its a 50K+ car I wouldnt expect it to be cheap.

In the flesh they look immense and so much car for the cash

 

10K+ to fix a very light front end shunt as they've got a stupid pedestrian safety system that springs the bonnet up. They are cheap for what they are, but very very expensive to run.
