    2 out of 5 2.0

    Too expensive, drinks diesel due to slower boost turbo, pretty boys car, but cheap fueling.

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Diesel costing too much, they have a taste for it.

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Comfortable, but high and bouncy.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Quick for a diesel, but not quick enough, can't take corners. Get a 306 TD.

  • Living with it

    Mixed... I came to dislike it because of its rich boy sports hatch, easy way out of moding a car.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Big and comfy, but not supportive. They belong in your front room.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good, had no problems. Goes off if you leave sunroof/window open.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Very poor customer service, they couldn't care less at MG. Go independent.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    No problems, except fuel economy.

    Other

    Seat hinge covers brake, lights brake, you will get lots of small anoying things breaking, if you must go for a ZR, get the 160, very quick, high torque, can beat a chipped Civic VTi.
