2002 MG ZR Plus review from UK and Ireland
"Get out your baseball cap and start cruising"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
Not a huge car, don't buy one if you have more than one kid!!
General comments?
Certainly more fun than you can shake a stick at. The engine loves to rev high and this is where the 105BHP is hiding.
At 60 MPH the rpm sits just above 2600 giving a good fuel economy (if that's what you want). The bucket type seats are really comfortable, but you need a rocket science degree to operate the radio which is the cars biggest let down. Throw the car into a corner or a roundabout and you find out what those big wheels really mean, it won't budge.
Interior trimming is a little disappointing where the dash is concerned, but if you buy the ZR Plus you get a superb leather steering wheel and gear knob. The control stalks are the same as the 1985 Rover 213 that I once owned, granted they work OK, but it is the 21st century isn't it??
