    3 Stars A SERIOUS PAIN IN THE ARSE 18/03/2002

    MG IN THE MORNING, MG IN THE NIGHT… MG BABY, BABY… MG WHEN YOU HOLD ME TIGHT! Why do Rovers have a pipe and slippers image? Post 1995 cars have been quite sporty to drive and whilst not cutting edge nor design icons they deserved a bit more credit than they were given. Then of course Rover got in a spot of trouble and we had the whole BMW fiasco, but I won’t go into that. Since then standard Rovers have been pretty good (especially the Rover 75 which is the car the MG ZT is based upon), if not class leading. MG for those who don’t know is part of Rover, at least in a working relationship… I’m ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks, interior, build quality, cost

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Tyre wear extraterrestrial, reliability, economy

    What is it with this car? From the moment I saw the Rover 75, I felt underwhelmed. It was as if its BMW influenced designers wanted to perpetuate a stereotype of thatched cottages, bowler hats and afternoon tea, then built a car that had all of it. Vaunted as the most beautiful car ever built - and it wasn't. In fact, it wasn't anything in particular - lots of "OK" aspects but nothing to send a shiver down my spine, or to warm my heart. It was just - there. And yet, I bought a MGZT 160+. And I bought it new, in black. The difference from its immediate ancestor was sparkling. From top to toe ... more

    5 Stars MG ZT - Top Car Not Top Price 11/07/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Loads of Car for Very Little Money - Handles Like a Dream

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The are not making any at the moment

    WOW is the only word I can think of to describe my new MG ZT. I have the 2.5v 6 160bhp 2002 model and what a car it is. Even with the fact that MG and Rover have gone POP I would still recommend anyone to buy this car - if fact now is the best time to buy this car with the deals that are available. Background I have been a Hyundai girl through and through for the past 10 years. I have owned 4 different ones myself, my partner has one, my son has one and my father had one. I never thought anything would pull me away from them. However, I was looking around for something slightly bigger than my ... more

    5 Stars Buy ZT 190 for long term reliability 15/06/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reasonable running costs, looks different to anything else, performance, reliability

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ride comfort, some servicing costs

    I've owned a very early 190 ZT for three years now, it has been fitted with a torque chip, induction kit & twin stainless exhaust making it look like the V8. This only added about 6BHP to its power output according to the rolling road but torque is incredible, first gear is no longer used unless I need super quick acceleration. Despite the cars incredible weight it will fly from the lights, pins you back into your seat and suprises the boy racers in their flimsy plastic hairdryers on wheels. Reliability is amazing, other than servicing items it has cost me nothing yet. Like most modern V6 ... more

    4 Stars MG ZT 23/12/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages superb

    Disadvantages Disadvantages tyres cost a fortune

    I have never had a car that has attracted so much attention. It is a real stunner as far as looks go. Our local doctor was pretty upset that his new Mercedes was virtually ignored by the locals whereas my MG attracted quite a crowd. The interior is a refreshing change from the doom and gloom of the Germans and just oozes class and style. Seats hold you very snugly - which is just as well as I just love throwing it around corners - and yet are remarkably comfortable on long journeys. bought this car after having owned two 3 Series as I wanted something a bit different and I have not been ... more

    5 Stars Car change again 16/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Loads of miles on one tank of diesel

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not my much loved ZS 180

    Hi I recently wrote a review about my MG ZS 180 the car was superb but with the greatest downfall PETROL cost holding me back. I have now changed the car after only 4 months. Now I have bought a 52 plate MG ZT cdti 135. Looks: Ok I am 25 years old and drive a granddad looking car. It's big a beefy looking which in my opinion kinda looks stately. I think a few changes will help the looks of this car greatly. Ride Well if you go by my fiancés standards, as she falls asleep every time she is sitting in the car, the ride is excellent. I have to admit it is so comfortable to drive it maybe a big ... more

    5 Stars MG ZT-T the best kept secret 12/03/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks, handling, quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can't buy them new at the moment

    I spent 3 months looking for a late low mileage MG ZT-T, and a few weeks ago I found one, 05 reg with 30k on the clock, a 2.0 135+ CDTi diesel, fitted with Smartnav. I couldn't be more pleased with this car - it's got stunning looks, good performance, excellent fuel economy, lugs a big load around effortlessly, and has lots of nifty electronic aids that really work. It;s fitted with the BMW 2.0 diesel engine, so I've got a much nicer car than a 320i Touring, for about £3000 less, and with much cheaper servicing costs. The Smartnav system is also great, just press the button and you're ... more

    5 Stars What a suprise! 01/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Gorgeous, Roomy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Fuel consumption

    My husband recently bought an MG ZT 2.5 V6. We were looking to buy a Jeep but settled on this instead. I have to say it is a superb car and we are both very pleased with the purchase of it. The petrol consumption is obviously higher than a normal car - however one thing to keep in mind is that this is a car which does stand out and is certainly impressive. The ride itself is excellent - the car is on 17" Alloys - making the ride slightly more uncomfortable than your regular run of the mill car - but for us - a family of 5 - the space is what cynched it for us. Boot space is excellent - we went ... more

    5 Stars Drive One 06/04/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Handling Performance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hard Ride

    What is there to say on the best handling car I have ever owned. The performance of my 190 is superb it is well equipped and has been fitted with the sports suspension pack (my only mistake) this gives it exception handling but a boneshaker ride over rough surfaces. But you forgive it everything every time you turn the key or enter a fast bend it’s a real drivers car with rugged good looks. They are one of the best-kept secrets of motoring a barging basement performance car. Tyres are expensive for the 18” wheels and only last about 20 –25k budget on a minimum of £150 each. Other than that ... more

    5 Stars Sheer enjoyment 15/07/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick, comfortable, handles beautifully

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long lead time on parts. More wind noise than expected

    If you are looking for a car that handles superbly, goes more than quickly enough for UK roads, is big enough for executive and family use and is something a little different then the ZT is for you. Taking the somewhat staid and fuddy-duddy Rover 75 and by clever use of subtle body modifcations, improved suspension and a superb engine MG-Rover have produced a real winner. Even after a year of ownership I still look forward to driving it. Dealer support cannot be faulted at least the 2 dealers I have used. If I was to pick one fault then it would be that there is sometimes more wind noise from ... more
