To Roadsport or to CSR, that's the question
Discussion
Some twenty years after my first ride as a passenger in a caterham, the virus has finally got me down. And the fact that I'm turning 40 next year and suffering from a growing degree of midlife crisis.
I'm about to place an order for a caterham, but I still don't know what model to take.
The car will be used on normal roads for 99% of the time. Track days will be very limited.
The available cars here in Belgium are rather limited, as is my knowledge of the English vocabulary. I want a car that I can drive over the next twenty years or so, so an entry model like the 165 isn't what I need. The 485 is a bit over the top in terms of performance for road use and I'd probably end up killing myself.
So that leaves the Roadsport 175 or CSR 175. And the big dilemma is: which one should I go for?
Spec will be similar for both cars:
screen + full weather
LSD
leather seats
lowered floors
SV chassis (no discussion about that, I'm 6'4 and I want my 7 to be comfortable, not snug)
superlight suspension (if I go for the roadsport)
and some minor things like black pack, 4 point harness,...
So, what would I go for? The Roadsport or the CSR?
