My company car is up for renewal soon and I was wondering about the MG ZS to be its replacement. Anyone know anything about these cars? Are they good on the road or do they wallow all over it?

Servicing and maintenance isn't a problem as we just throw them into a garage for everything - company pays.

I've got until November to chose, but the pack comes through this month for spec'ing what I next have.

Thanks
Mice.

The ZS handles very well for a warmed up Rover 45!! IMHO

It all depends on what choice/price range you have got to work with, I take it that you will be forced to go for the Turbo Diesel??

Cheers,
Grant

Still a Rover though, I'd go for the Octavia or Leon.

Never thougt I'd rate a Skoda above a Rover in my lifetime but hey **** happens.

From the listings, I think (IIRC) that I was going to go for the 160...but I could be lying...

I know! I'll check...then I have one less waffle-spouting post to my name....

Thumbs up

ZS 180 was the choice that I'd provisionally made.

Hmmm, not too sure about these cars! Have seen a lot on the back of recovery trucks!

Other than that I can't comment!

Go for it Rat_Pixie!! If I pass you on the hard shoulder I will make sure I wave to you!

What about the dreaded company car tax!?

Get a Tavia!

If you want any info, just ask. I've had mine 18 months, done best part of 90,000 miles in it, including over 7,000 track miles. You could say I know what its like to live with on a day to day basis
