Other MG ZS (2001 - 2004) models:

  • Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    It says you've got style + individuality. It says you don't feel the need to buy into the now common BMW 3-series/Merecedes image. It says you're probably a bit older than the average boy racer these days!

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

    All love it, especially the Trophy Blue colour!

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Have considered buying newer or maybe the hatch version or the 2.5 but normally tend to try something different so probably no on this occasion.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    4x4 and/or something 'greener' and smaller-engined.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    I'm happy! It's fast enough but 1.8/120ps version probably not enough for this size of car.

    What's it like to park?

    Not the best! Wide turning circle doesn't help and fairly wide/long but hey, you can't have it all!
