2004 MG ZS 180 review from UK and Ireland
"Enjoyable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power Steering making a squeeking noise
Airflow sticking in the feet position
Slight noise from drivers side everytime you break.
General comments?
Have a Mondeo ST220 but wanted a 2nd car as the wife is using the Mondeo more and more.
Saw the ZS on a 54 plate by chance at my local Ford/MG dealer so decided to take it for test drive.
I must admit I love it and although there is a few silly niggles with it (which the dealer are sorting as we speak), it drives fantastically well and has the power there should you need it.
The condition inside and out is showroom condition and as it's a MK2 version it looks that much better (in my opinion).
Got a full 12 month parts and labour warranty so everything covered.
Only cost me £3495 and for that price I can't lose really.
This is the first car I've owned in a long time which makes me want to get up in the middle of the night and just go for a drive and I haven't felt like that since I was a kid in my Renault 5 GT Turbo.
Last of the truly british sports cars, lets hope they make them again in the future.
