Samsung B3310 - but its pink!!

Advantages: Cheap, performs core functions well
Disadvantages: No data cable, location of memory card slot

...Introduction Whilst out shopping my wife suddenly decided that she needed a new phone as she wasn?t happy with her LG Cookie that she had only had for six months. As she is on a sim only contract, it meant that we would have to pay for a new phone for her. Previously she has always liked Samsung phones so when she saw the newly released B3310, she decided it was the one for her. Purchasing the phone We bought the phone in-store from the Carphone Warehouse for £49.95 but we also had to buy £10 airtime on top of this. If we had chosen not to buy the airtime then the phone would have cost £99.95 instead which seemed a bit strange but evidently all phone manufacturers do this. We had the choice of 2 colours, light blue or pink. Unsurprisingly my wife went for the pink phone which will pretty much ensure that I...

MG ZS 120 bags of fun!

Advantages: Handling, MPG, handling, looks, handling, drive and handling!
Disadvantages: Definately lacks comfort

...Well this is my review on an MG ZS 1.8 120 After having just got rid of my last car (VW Golf GT TDI) I decided it was time to get back in the MG Rover scene and to do just that I started my 4th car search. I eventually fell upon MG cars just because they had a sportier look and appeal. I was really drawn to the ZS but found they were a little pricy for me. After having just bought a VW Golf and spending a lot on it trying to make it good and selling it for a lot less I was a tad broke and ideally wasn?t looking to spend too much on my next car. A week passed and I got a bite, a big bite. 2002 MG ZS 1.8 120, Lemans Green, 53,000 miles and recently serviced including timing belt and head gasket repair. I really liked the colour which I thought looked fantastic and very different. I bought it and brought it home that day...

Samsung PS50B451

Advantages: Brillaint TV
Disadvantages: Hard to get used to

...One of the TVs in my house has just been replaced, we was lucky enough to get a deal on the Samsung PS50b451 instead of it costing around the £700 asking price a friend of ours used her staff discount and along with some vouchers, the TV cost us around £350 which is brilliant for what it is. bit of a bargain actually. I thought I would review it to see if it is actually worth the £700 asking price to those who aren?t as lucky as us to have a friend who works in a shop that sells them. Why choose this one? The reason that we choose this particular TV is that we wanted one in the 50 inch size range to replace the old one, and when we had a look at the range available we found that this one was not only the cheapest for what it is, but also we found that this one was the better looking of the three we narrowed our choice down to...

MG for ME -Oh...and my brother.....!

Advantages: Sporty, sleek, zippy, excellant range of colours and add ons
Disadvantages: Price - Just a wee bit expensive!

...2005 Version of the MG ZR+ 115 TD My brother was lucky enough to have gotten an excellent deal with his employers, who agreed to pay part payment on a brand new car for him. Wish I had the opportunity like this, but it was to allow him to travel the some 200 mile round trip to work, as he was thinking of leaving to get a new job closer to home. After trawling through quite a few garages before Christmas, I was drawn to the MG one, just to have a look! There were many models, but the one that caught my eye, was the MG ZR+, 115 Turbo Diesel 5 door. Perfect. It was a 5 door, so suitable for ?the family? i.e. his wife and child, and a zippy little thing which means I could drive it, as apposed to his last, massive Megane Saloon which was just way too big for me. I also?helped? well pushed my brother to get my choice of colour...

MG ZR

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Too many to list here

...okay here goes, bought my MG ZR 105 3 door brand new, and within 3 months this is what happened, tappets started banging, the inside door frames kept coming away from the doors, the gearstick handle came off, the cloth part of the fronts seats started wearing away, the front seat tilt mechanisim snapped on the passenger side, the left hand horn button was sunk into the steering wheel, and the steering wheel wasn\'t even aligned properly, had to hold the wheel 1 inch to the right in order to drive straight. After a 1 year service by the very garage I bought it from, it started backfiring and took another 2 visits to fix, and the door trim problem again, and tappet problem again and the exhaust went at the coupling between the 2 back sections, 4 years on the car is falling apart, it is as though it was designed with the throw...

MG ZR 105 - Cheap Thriller

Advantages: Cheap, looks good, performs well
Disadvantages: dated interior, parts not produced in mass

...The MG ZR 105 was the first car I personally owned, opting to go for the + edition, it came with electric windows, sun roof, and central locking and on alloys as standard. So from the off it's a stylish little number with the goodies list continuing with half vinyl leather effect seats, digital dash, roof spoiler and a front splitter fitted too. This is a 1.4 K series engine knocking out around 103bhp, a lot more than other 1.4's available on the second hand market including some of the vw golf range. Overall the car is very attractive, available in MK1 and a facelift MK2 model, my bias would suggest that MK1 is more athstetically pleasing and indeed many would agree, those who own the facelift model likely would not. The steering of the car is nice and if you give it enough throttle you'll feel a new lease of life in every...

Review of MG ZR 105

MG ZR

Advantages: Cheap insurance, Cheap running costs
Disadvantages: Poor Build Quality

...to 19k for a ZT-T. Diesel or Petrol its entirely a preference of the consumer. My personal favorite is the ZR Diesel Turbo - which insidentaly gave BMW 1 series Diesel a view of its pipes and boot as it shaved 1.2 seconds from the 1 series equivelent diesel. Great fun, good looking, cheap running cost and since the demise of MG Rover Group... low priced low milage examples are readily available. Build quality is a let down. You dont get Germany build quality or Japanese reliability from MG but as my nan says, 'you get what ya pay for' Go on.... give it a try, you never know... you may love the Octagonal badged 'British' beauty....

MG ZT

Advantages: superb
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 disappointed. The ZT must be the best car I have ever owned. It is smooth, stylish, 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...

MG ZR TD - See how it pays to buy British

Advantages: Stunning looks, good performance, decent spec, makes you make excuses just to go out and drive it
Disadvantages: None

...I really dont know where to start on this one. When I first saw MGRover release this motor I knew I had to have one. In recent times I had bought classic cars including an MG Maestro and a Triumph TR7. I'd always liked my British cars but due to promotion at work I no longer had the time to spend working on older cars, nor could I be bothered with tinkering when I had been at work all day. It was time to by my first ever brand new one, and i couldn't have made a better choice. I had always liked the zr and as I say i've always liked to buy british where I can so I popped down to my local dealers (Inchcape, Buron On Trent) one morning and had a word. I'd heard bad things about some MG Rover dealers so was pleasantly suprised with my local dealer. A very warm welcome was enjoyed and they'd be quite happy to let you browse...

MG ZT - Top Car Not Top Price

Advantages: Loads of Car for Very Little Money - Handles Like a Dream
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 Hyundai Coupe as I need to comfortably fit people in the back of my car and obviously couldn't in the coupe and I spotted an MG ZT driving past me on the motorway - it caught my eye straight away. I had been looking...
