faster and clio dont really go together have you test driven an MGZS as they chew up and spit out the clio
the clio IMHO is perfect for the wife to go shopping in or drive to the hair dressers

Fuel same as the 1.2's realy
Parts and servicing depends if your doin it yourself and milage etc with cambelts.

Best do a search though what are you looking for.

its nice to see you take a bit of banter with good humor
could i just request when in the normal following position you clio drivers dip your headlights as although you are quickly out of sight the dazzle can be irritating:rasp:

Will do.

Cannot help only needing the original head gasget to drive round on and getting 80mpg out of a diesel whilst you go off play with yourself and your car.

Is the the ZS a Rover 45? My parents had one of them they liked them I'd think they'll buy another some time not sure what I'm saying realy might point to what sort of people buy them but my parents only care about mpg they don't like any decinet cars.

my mate has a mg the 160 bhp model
the valver and my other mates 106 gti eat it for breakfast.
So cant really see how the 180 is gona "chew up and spit out a 172/182":rasp:

 

[16v_jon]

Do rovers still have a warning light on the dash if you have moved the tartan blanket off the parcel shelf?

I was speaking to my chinese mate the other day about them, and even the chinese think they are s**t

in my experience drums have always been round i cant go out and check as my MG has disks and they are all round

i dont know ive never owned a rover however you sound like you speak from expeience did you part ex your rover for the clio or did they pay you to take the clio away?

was speaking to my chinese mate the other day about them, and even the chinese think they are s**t

each to thier own not sure what it has to do with me if your mate doesnt like tartan blankets:S

my mate has a mg the 160 bhp model

that would be a 1.8 4 cylinder then

So cant really see how the 180 is gona "chew up and spit out a 172/182

that would be the 2.5 V6 if you would like a chewing and spitting demonstration i am happy to oblige:rasp:

Is the the ZS a Rover 45?

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_ZS

The MG ZS (2001-2005) is a sporting family car derived from the Rover 45 (launched in 1999). The 45 is a facelifted version of the Rover 400 which was launched in hatchback form in 1995 and saloon form in 1996. The Rover 400 had much in common with the Honda Civic of 1995-1999. At the time of development, Honda and Rover worked in partnership to design and develop cars for the Japanese and European markets.

The Rover 45 donor car did not have a reputation for being a driver's car but in fact it was the most suitable car in the Rover range for transformation into an MG, it's Honda heritage providing double-wishbone front suspension and fully independent multi-link rear suspension. As a Rover, the car was always optimised for comfort rather than handling — as an MG this choice was reversed to dramatic effect.

Despite being arguably less pretty than the MG ZR and MG ZT in terms of external appearance, the ZS is arguably the best driver’s car of the trio, offering a lot of power in V6 form and a supple chassis with excellent handling.

So let me get this right your cars basically a 12 year old Honda the only reason its got potential is because Honda years ago desinged it?
