2004 MG ZS 180 review from UK and Ireland
"Underrated dark hose"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
So why did MGR go out of business when teenagers think their friends dad's car is cool?
The handling of this car is superb and does not seem to stress the tyres which are wearing evenly showing just how good a job was done setting up the suspension. Ride is firm, but not harsh and intrusive as the suspension and body keep the wheels in the right place. A bump on a bend is just a bump not a cause for violent correction of steering.
Performance is great with normal driving not stressing the smooth engine that has plenty of torque at low revs, but loves to be revved.
Cabin space is surprisingly spacious compared with some "larger" models and press criticism. Seats are good and supportive.
Overall build quality of car is solid with no rattles. Some parts deleted to reduce cost have been restored to reduce noise, which was my only critisism of this car. Easily fixed.
