Excellent VFM - Much cheaper than a 306 S16!
Costs
High insurance, quite thirsty and gets through tyres quickly.

Driving
Amazing fun! Loads of power, with immense control! Best handling car I've driven!
Performance
Stacks of power in a very light car. Bit slow off the mark, though!

Living with it
Reliability
Cambelts MUST be changed! I've learned the hard way!
Image
Although not as pretty as the Pugeot 306, the ZX looks like its aggressive older brother!
Comfort
Very good, but basic interior - find leather interior from a Volcane.

Security and Service
Security
Very basic security - get a decent CAT 1 system!
Service
Never used main dealer - too pricey!
