Having just bought myself a "normal" R, they are your words, not mine, I really wish that I had bought the R-GT, now that I have found this site and read a few topics. The extra grand wasn't the deciding factor, it was the dealers lack of product knowledge that sold me the "normal". He told me the only difference were the foglights, cruise control, aircon and folding mirrors :bad-words:
I have now seen the rest of the bits and bobs that you get with an R-GT and I want to run him down ! At the time I thought aircon and cruise I could live without, had them on my FR-V Sport and hardly used them, folding mirrors I now miss, especially when putting car in garage, but the fogs are a bit different as I really want them fitted cos it finishes the look off, and I thought I ain't paying a grand extra just for the fogs............
The only saving grace really was that I went to the dealers on Tuesday 28th August, had test drive, asked him about delivery and he said ".....2 a month blah blah blah...and I just ordered from Decembers allocation...BUT I got a silver one out there that we shouldn't have, so don't ask" (????). So the deal was done and I picked it up on Sat.1st Sept....4 days later with only 3 miles on clock ! :WOOT
NVM eh....at least I got myself an R...................even if it is "normal"
P.S. Is it just me or does anyone else keep bouncing it off the limiter in 2nd ?
