  • Summary

    What does this car say about you?

    Not sure. I've always owned a ZS since 2005, guess that makes me a bit of a ZS geek.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They are used to seeing an MG of some sorts parked outside the house. Generally they are a popular car.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    I will certainly buy another ZS, not my current 1.8 though. It has had a hard life and plenty of bodged repairs along the way. Never buy blind off ebay.

    MG ZS or either a Rover 75 or Rover 800.
