ZT scores an acceptable 4-stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests and features front and side air-bags for driver and passenger, whilst curtain airbags are optional. Traction control is only fitted to the ZT260 model, but good body control helps ensure you shouldn’t lose control. An immobiliser and deadlocks are standard, but an alarm is optional. Anti-hijack door locks activate automatically once the car has moved off and cannot be opened with the engine running unless you press the central locking button on the key fob.

Safe but irritating.

Probably not the antique dealers’ favourite, but still a good size for most needs. It’s versatile too, as the seats split fold, and the rear luggage cover also incorporates a removable luggage net so the boot can bee loaded safely to the roof. The tailgate also features a useful opening window.
