Anybody got the 0-60 times of the new MG (the little one based on the Rover 200?). Saw a yellow one this morning, was good in a straight line, but didn't like the wet corners on the B road as much as the scoob.

Alex, the ZR160 does the dash in 7.4 seconds according to MG-Rover...

HTH

this one had the boot lid spoiler, so wasn't a hatch back... is that one a hatch back?

Dr. Evil > sounds like you mean the ZS 180 - 2.5 litre V6 jobbie?? Most people consider it to be the best of the bunch, but I don't know the times

MGZR (based on r25/200) -
1.4 (105bhp) - 0-60 10.0 , top speed 111mph
1.8 (120bhp) - 0-60 8.6 , top speed 119mph
1.8vvc (160bhp) - 0-60 7.4 , top speed 131mph

MGZS (based on r45/r400) -
1.8 (120bhp) - 0-60 9.0 , top speed 122mph
2.5 (180bhp) - 0-60 7.3 , top speed 139mph

i've got a ZR160 and admit its no match for the scoob i had previous but for a fwd 1.8 non turbo its not that bad.
Hold the road precisely in the dry (like being on rails), but in the wet it's "crap"

will be at well lane on feb 3rd so we'll see what it's actual figures are :-)

Alex, if you want to know what I thought of the ZS 180 then you can read my review here: http://www.xpower-mg.com/MG%20ZS%20Gossip.htm

My boss has a ZS 180 in yellow

Good car, tidy handling and fun. The interior looks very old and the guaranteed value is low - in 3yrs/36k its valued at just over £4k
