    LHD RS2 info

    After a bit of info chaps.
    I've been given the green light for an RS2, Still in the planning stage as I want to keep my S2 Coupe too.

    What are LHD drive RS2's like to drive out on the UK roads. I have no problem driving a car in LHD, comes naturally, but have only ever done this abroad.
    Do you find it easy to adapt to driving being a little harder? I mean overtaking etc?
    I currently know of an RS Blue RS2 in RHD for "good" money, but as we know these shift pretty easily and whilst I'm sorting things it may go soon.
    Also know of a LHD polar Silver that is very keenly priced and extremely low mileage.
    Just unsure as which way to go.
    Colour isn't an issue, but in an ideal world it'd be either polar silver, RS blue of one of the blacks (volcano or brilliant)

    What's your thought guys.
    Info greatly appreciated.

    Having owned a LHD ur for more years than I can remember I hope I can offer some insight (and driven various customer cars a long the years)
    If you do a lot of single carriageway driving then you will change how you overtake as you will hang back giving you a better line of sight.
    Normal everyday driving is no different (except your passenger will now be the focus of any abuse hurled your way) the only issues you will have are if you are driving on your own and go through toll roads/drivethroughs etc.

    Good luck with the purchase, sounds good.

      Jason I have to agree with Corey there is not that much difference apart from when overtaking on a single carriageway and it is a bit of a nightmare trying to park and not hit the kerb but apart from that I love it.

      Call past over the next few days Jason and you can have a shot of mine and decide where to go from there.

        Thank you Sir, I'm leaning towards either to be honest. LHD/RHD as long as it's RS2.
