Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£2,300
When did you buy the car?
September 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
Paid market rate. Good MG ZS's hold value fairly well compared to Rover variants
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Had a number of Rovers and they'd all been good cars. Wanted a non common rail diesel as common rail diesels too fragile and un-economical.
What was the dealer like?
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Suspension is rock hard old school and car drives like a go-kart. One of the best handling cars I've driven and humbles lots of more expensive machinery.
What's it like to park?
All cars park the same for a bloke - ask a woman. Most pointless question here?
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Excellent reliability
What's most practical about your car?
Nothing really.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Big "extreme" spoiler normally only found on the V6 models. Good pose value.
