2004 MG ZS 180 review from UK and Ireland
"Steer Clear - Slow + reliability issues!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Keeps cutting out when raining, dealer doesn't know what the problem is!
Front windows leak water then fail to open sometimes.
Interior is very poor quality compared to my 323i Y reg BMW.
Paint work starting to peel on the front bonnet!
General comments?
Poor performance compared to the HYPE of some owners. Isn't and doesn't feel at all quick. My BMW 323i was quicker and FAR better quality.
Engine sounds a bit harsh when pushed and it has "terrible" fuel consumption!
Handling isn't so great either! The car feels too heavy and lazy.
Final straw came after an ST170 Focus blew me from a standing start to well above 70 mph! Was giving the car plenty, but off he went!
I'm more worried about the build and reliability issues of this car though, so will be selling it on.
