very nice m8 would really like one myself

 

Yeah it f******g does actually

Apart from a 3 door they are ageing real bad IMO

 

They're about £50 for half an hour.

 

 

Quality stuff - happy wth yours?? Love mine in silver - yours looks cracking in red!

 

Im in !

 

£50k new was never going to work. Ford had it right with £35K for the RS500. Still plenty for sale now around £35-38k. Carstins in Coventry have an as new CS400 up for £50k. Somehow I doubt that is getting sold any time soon.

 

I thought I'd read a few comments on here that sat they only came with a 2yr warranty which I always thought was a little strange.

 

I think they both got it Wrong there no way the ford was worth 35k, if the CS400 had been 40k new it would of been a good deal me thinks.

And your right the CS 400 only comes with a 12 month warranty from what I remember.

PS any of you CS400 owners fancy a back to back test against the R205 would love to see the out come. Evo magazine were going to do a review on the R205 against the CS400, but the CS400 press car blew it's engine

One review I've not seen anywhere is a CS400 vs X400 VS GTR.

 

I have a 3 year 60K warranty with my CS400.......

 

I think you will find that the warranty is 3yrs 36,000 miles,but is extendable at any time for another 2 years at least. I havnt had mine long enough to give any kind of an appraisel,but this is my 4th new one so I will be able to give an opinion It looks great,it makes me smile....and no I didnt pay nowhere near 50k.

 

The warranty was important to me, so it was conditional with the purchase. You are right, standard is 36 2 years, but I have 3 years 60 on mine. I too was happy with the deal and I love the car.

I would love to see this, come on guys

I have my guess at the 1

 

tempted......

 

that made her smile lol...more than the fooking car did....

 

I will take some tidy pics tomorrow,.engine bay...exhaust.etc lol

......as for testing against another...I have no interest sorry...Il settle for comparing with my other toys

 

Have you had any issues with yours draining the battery when left for a few weeks ?

 

ummmmm,Iv only had it less than 2 days lol

 

Ah

Enjoy then !!!what number is yours ?

 

Probably the tracker and alarm, if kept in a garage you need to get a battery optimiser. Monitors the batterys condition and keeps it fully charged for you. I use my motorbike one, will not work on a flat battery as it's not powerful enough. Works fine on a charged battery though and much cheeper than a car one!

nice motor bud

 

I think thats just a reflection of internet forums in general. People spout off about stuff, yet they have no real world experience of it them self..

 

All I can say id im well impressed,its a beautiful looking car.Couple of downsides...weird remote .entry system....no bluetooth..no nav.no park sensors...with windows so black you can barely see out of...but ive booked it in to have a Kenwood stereo to replace standard fit...i looked into getting a rear cam fitted...but theres nowhere it can be fitted that im happy with.....got caught in torrential rain yesterday on motorway..got splashed and 1st stone chip

 

Same happened to me about 4 days in - front lip of the bonnet - gutted but such is life!!

I got the uprated pioneer nav installed on mine with the rear cam - tucked up under the number plate I think it's pretty well hidden.

Know what you mean about the glass - with sunglasses on it like its dark out back!!

Like you, I ove mine - quite alot of adverse comment on the forums but I had some extended test drives before deciding it was the right car for me and it has not disappointed- covered about 6000 miles so far and it's great - use it for work but I have found that I can't get as much kit in it as I sometimes need, so bought an older spec b legacy for that - for me I have the perfect car combination.

Watch for the battery drain from the tracker (thanks to the earlier poster) - dealership said the same so I need to get myself a solar trickle charger for when it's left for a while.

Talking of nav etc, the standard pioneer that comes fitted should have Bluetooth though I thought?
