Default MG ZS 180

I've always liked the looks of these. Any previous owners on here? I'm wondering how expensive they are too run and if there fun?

I notice there really cheap to buy and common so getting hold of parts should be easy. I've always liked the look of them. Not sure if i'd fit in one comfortably i;m 6'3.

They're quite thirsty but better than a Scoob so don't get if economy is important

They do need revving to get the power but sound great at high revs, handling is quite good and they are a comfy car for everyday use

How cheap we talking.... cheap enough to buy and transform into a severely budget track toy?


Cheers,

The V6 is a stonker, but you have to maintain coolant changes or they die. Very high revving for a V6 and on full blat sound very porsche flat six. My friend has one in yellow with 147000 miles on it, but well maintained, and faultless. Good handling for a FWD V6, much better than any other equivalant FWD V6 on the market. Plus for about 1k you can get a dreadnought USED supercharger conversion. Gearboxes are also strong. htp
