MG ZT

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 ...
...not class leading. MG for those who don’t know is part of Rover, at least in a working relationship… I’m not sure if BMW kept MG for themselves, I know they kept Mini. Anyway… MG’s current range of cars are all based on standard Rover cars (apart from the soon to be replace MGF). All are seriously sporty alternatives to the standard Rover models and very reasonably priced in comparison. The small hatchback ZR, a fairly average pocket rocket based ...

Review of MG ZT

...its paragon. MG could have had the world at its feet with the ZT. But it let itself down on two fronts. Firstly, it continued to produce the 75. It need not have done this. An increased targeting of younger drivers would have more than compensated in sales for the loss of the 75 among older drivers. The ZT was a car which held its own in the credibility stakes with Audi, BMW and Alfa Romeo and with the oriental sector also. And was signifcantly less ...
...was always the impression that MG were making silk purses out of sow's ears. The interior of the ZT was every bit as impressive as the exterior heralded it to be. The 75's gloomy cream dials taken from Harrison's instrument that calculated Longitude were relieved by crisp white gauges that lit up like Big Ben. Seats were contoured and close fitting and driving position was good. The dashboard was in the same plane left to right, and did not succumb ...

Review of MG ZT

...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 ...
...coupe and I spotted an MG ZT driving past me on the motorway - it caught my eye straight away. I had been looking around at BMW's and Audi's but to get one in my price range (£9k max) I had to go quite old and this was not really what I wanted to do. My friend then came to me as she was selling her MG ZT (the one I now own) as she was about to get a company car and offered me the ZT at a very reasonable price. I was umming and aahing until I drove ...

Review of MG ZT

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 ...
...amazing, other than servicing items it has cost me nothing yet. Like most modern V6 engines cambelt changes are expensive although not required as often as 4 cylinder models so it probably works out reasonable on the whole. It was once left over winter for seven weeks on the drive in freezing temperatures and snow but as soon as I turned the key it was like it was started 5 minutes ago. Its well worth finding an independent Rover specialist for ...

Review of MG ZT

...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 disappointed. The ZT must be the ...
...comfortable and distinctive. It manages to corner very flat yet still gives an acceptable ride. The Rover K series V6 sounds very classy too. I have lost count of the number of people who have commented on how great it looks. I have even had a total stranger comment on the car after I had parked it. The only thing I can think of to say against it is that there are more spacious cars in its class, but as I rarely carry more than two passengers that ...

Review of MG ZT

...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 ...
...the ride is excellent. I have to admit it is so comfortable to drive it maybe a big car but it's smooth and easy to handle around corners. Performance Compared to the 2.5 V6 ZS it's like the tortoise and the hare. But once you get up to around 2500 revs the turbo kicks in and away you go. Great for overtaking as the power is there when you need it most. Handling As I have said before for a big car this handles like a dream. Corners very well and ...

Review of MG ZT

...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 ...
...avoid traffic incidents. The MG ZT/Rover 75 has now been reborn in China as the MG 7, and may end up being manufactured in Longbridge within the next couple of years. In the meantime, if you can get hold of a low mileage used ZT, they are most definitely the best kept secret in motoring today! ...

Review of MG ZT

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 ...
...for us - a family of 5 - the space is what cynched it for us. Boot space is excellent - we went away last weekend and had plenty of space for all the luggage. I have to say that at first I thought we were crazy buying another car with three kids - normally its wise to look into people carriers or four wheelers - but after riding this car - my mind was changed. Its a powerful car, yet easy enough for even me to drive - an my car is a little 1400 ...

Review of MG ZT

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 ...
...and only last about 20 –25k budget on a minimum of £150 each. Other than that running cost are about average. Clutch can be a bit heavy but no other complaints. Its comfortable and economical low 30’s mpgs if not pushed hard, it love b roads and returns high 30’s early 40’s on country runs, cant comment on town driving rarely take it in. Very pleased with mine and would change for another one tomorrow. ...

Review of MG ZT

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 ...

Review of MG ZT

Review for 2.5 v6 - 190+ This car is awesome for the money. I have just paid £10k for a car that has done less than 15k miles and is less than 18 months old. It cost 23k new. Value springs to mind. The car looks great, handles like a dream. The power is there - you can feel it. Suspension is rigid but not too tough. My last car vas a Rover 75 - what an upgrade this has been. OK, tyres might cost, but HEY - you've got a sports saloon for a snip. ...
