MG ZS Saloon (01-04)

Value

3 out of 5

Not too bad - A/C and all the bits included , finish on the interior a little tacky but generally acceptable.

Costs

4 out of 5

Good fuel returns providing you're not ruled by your right foot, cheap to service with most parts readily available.

Driving

Good Noises , Fun Suspension, Keen Revving - well mannered around town but really hates bad roads.

Performance

4 out of 5

Not as quick as one would have hoped, feels like the engine is capable of so much more ( with chip thrown in here or there ) but overall a " quick" drive , rather than " exhilarating ". Enough poke on tap for when you need it.

Reliability

1 out of 5

Shocking. Maybe I got the Friday Afternoon / Saturday morning with a hangover car - but really , how does this sound : 1 x Rocker Cover Gasket , 1 x Cam Cover Gasket , 2 x Exhaust Rattle , Brake Rattle , Slow Elec Windows , SRS Light staying on , New Cat.

Okay , driven by more grandaddies now chasing after their tally-ho golden days. Still stays head and shoulders above the loutish ZR. Reasonably sporty, quite nice looking. Shame about leatherglove lad army driving them.

Comfort

3 out of 5

Forget bumpy roads or make sure you have a great Chiropractor! Not bad around town , flooring it around country roads provide firm comfort thanks to the seats.

We've gathered the biggest companies on the market in one place to save you money.

Security

3 out of 5

Alarm , Deadlocks , Central Locking. Standard most days - just dont be put off by insurance companies who want you to install a tracker ! Not worth it for a tarted up 45.
