2003 MG ZR 105 review from UK and Ireland
"Value for money hot hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Unfortunately I crashed the ZR and it took 3 months to get the parts, of course this was according to the repairer and I have to wonder whether they could have got them any quicker by the V.O.R (vehicle off road) system that manufacturers operate.
Nearside skirt has come adrift, but this is being fixed under warranty.
General comments?
The car is a head turner.
Its very quick for a 1.4 c. c motor producing 110 brake horse power.
It handles like its on rails due to the McPherson struts, 205 track tires and stiffer suspension.
