MG ZR ZR+ TD 101 2003

5 star review

 

A really enjoyable 18 months of ownership of this rapid machine that cornered as if it was on rails! Despite having over 100,000 on the clock when I sold it, everything still fitted and worked properly and the only repair needed was to be expected at that age and mileage (rubber gaiter on the driveshaft). With upgraded injectors fitted, the already great performance improved even further and I could still get almost 50mpg. Cheap road tax too. You read a lot of bad press about these cars, but then again, it has been ’cool’ to criticise British products for the last few years and much of the criticism is based on hearsay. This car was a far better buy than most of the alternatives (of similar age) on the market that seem to be popular and it did not suffer from the rust problems, electrical issues, and bits of trim falling off that some of those alternatives are well-known for!

For a 1.8i it’s very quick, good on fuel too. I can get from Portsmouth to Manchester on a tank of fuel. very comfortable car, one drawback though, bizarrely it does not have electric windows???
