Description
She's a 2.0L ceramic white MK4 (ND) registered in March 2016 and is number 115 of the 600 Sport Recaro Ltd editions in the UK. The Recaros offer a significant improvement over the standard seats, offering greater support and are more durable than the softer normal seats.
As a Sport Recaro it improves over the already surprisingly well-specced Sport-Nav cars and offers the following features:
Limited Slip Differential
Bilstein Dampers
Sports Aero Kit (Brilliant Black front, rear and side airdam skirts)
Heated Piano black mirrors
LED Headlights
Heated Recaro seats
Alcantara Dash trim
Light sensing headlights
Rain-sensing wipers
Auto-Dim rear-view mirror
Rear Parking sensors
7" touchscreen entertainment with Bose Speakers and integrated Bluetooth
Integrated SatNav
Climate Control
Keyless Entry
Hill Hold assist
Lane Departure warning system
Shortly after initial purchase the previous owner drove the car to Neil at BBR to have fitted their excellent Super 190 pack. In summary that includes:
BBR Cold Intake system
BBR 4-1 Manifold
2.5" "Grand Tourer" exhaust (Offers a significant improvement in noise without being offensive!)
BBR Starchip
BBR Springs
17" OZ Ultraleggera Wheels
Total cost of the modifications was around 4k.
The upgrades take her to 193 BHP and 169 ft-lbs and the springs with the slight drop (around 30 mm) have sharpened the car up significantly.
The infotainment has been upgraded by Mazda to support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Private plate and a professionally fitted dash-cam will remain on the car and be included in the price.
I've owned the car since April 2018. She's a wonderful car and I think the 190 package sets her off perfectly, offering just that little bit of extra go whilst feeling totally OEM. Only selling because I've just inherited a Porsche Boxster from my mother and I can't keep both.
