2004 MG ZR 105 review from UK and Ireland
"Sporty, quick, fun, go and get one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing! Its been fantastic.
The only glitch was when some idiot crashed into me as I was leaving a c ar park and dented two doors and ripped open my rear tyre!!
General comments?
From outside it looks like a sleek, sporty boy racer car, but one which most boy racers can't afford and only wish they had, however this boy racer does! and god, I love it!
The body styling has been much improved on the previous model that's why I got a new 54reg one instead of a 03reg one!
The interior is as hot as the exterior, and compared to my J-reg escort it's a world of a difference! Half leather seats that really wrap around you and keep you firm in your seat, which is what you need in this thing as you can get round the corners without dropping to 2nd and slowing down, its handling is spot on.
My only wish is that it was a bit quicker on the 0-60, its 10second rush is enough to get you excited and enough to burn that 1.8 focus zetec or astra 1.8sxi sitting next to you at the lights as he looks across thinking he's better than you.
GET IT IN BLUE OR BLACK OR XPOWER GREY!!
