Nothing until the 3 year lease was nearly completed. It was then called back to have the fuel regulator recalibrated. This took a few days. Mileage was approx. 30k at this time.
The build quality is not 100%, with trim rattles that annoyed.
However, the car handled very well, and the performance from the turbo diesel engine was very good, although the low rev limit could be annoying when pushing it (rev limiter cuts in).
Note : the fuel consumption figures can mislead. Although you can get 40+ mpg, if you use the turbo power continuously, consumption can drop to low 20's.
Practical car, and well equipped at this level.
I've had my 1992 Aura Diesel since 1995 (30k miles). Mileage at 3/01 is 123k miles. I've never dropped below 40 mpg and regularly get 48/49 mpg. All high speed motorway miles. I don't think these figures are untypical or misleading. II suggest your 20 mpg is not a driving style or turbo issue - more likely that the injector pump is still not set correctly. Hope you get it sorted out. All the best.
I have a 93 Advantage TD. Over 65k miles the car has averaged 49mpg, mainly motorway. The exhaust is the original with 110k on the clock.
This is a great car to drive and has been virtually trouble free so far.
Probably the best car I have owned.
I've got a 1993 Aura TD with 130k miles, and I still get around 45mpg with some hard driving! Very impressed with the mpg.
It was a tricky decision to get another ZX as the head gasket gave way at 100k on my last one, but I bit the bullet and wen't for it. I just really like the drive and the performance from the TD engine!

Oh dear, somebody else who doesn't know much... if your car is producing average 20mpg then don't blame the car, blame yourself for not keeping it maintained, these cars practically do not drop below 40mpg and people can quite easily get them up to 50mpg+... only buy a car if you know something about it... another persons giving a zx a bad name... no wonder they get such a dissing.
Wow, there must be something wrong if you are only getting 20mpg on one of these diesel engines!
I had a volcane 1.9td and practically drove it with my foot to the flood on every journey and I still managed 40mpg.
