    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent VFM - Much cheaper than a 306 S16!

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    High insurance, quite thirsty and gets through tyres quickly.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Amazing fun! Loads of power, with immense control! Best handling car I've driven!

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Stacks of power in a very light car. Bit slow off the mark, though!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Cambelts MUST be changed! I've learned the hard way!

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Although not as pretty as the Pugeot 306, the ZX looks like its aggressive older brother!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good, but basic interior - find leather interior from a Volcane.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Very basic security - get a decent CAT 1 system!

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Never used main dealer - too pricey!
