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.
What are you likely to buy next?
MG ZS or either a Rover 75 or Rover 800.
