Owning an MG is a passion.

Are you thinking with your heart or your wallet?

Do the swap, sell the clio, sell it and spend the money on another ZS?

Sounds like a plan

I'd keep the ZS over a Clio any day, more street presence, more fun and its not french!

I'd do the swap personally...

The 172 is known to have a few minor electrical gremlins, but as long as you don't feed or water them they're alright! ;)

If I wasn't just about to get the cambelt done on my derv I'd get rid of it tomorrow.. Can't really justify spending out and then getting shot straight away :(

I've always liked the 172. If you think it's a good deal mate ... go for it. Proper pocket rocket they are. If you don't need a 4 door - Do it.

Just make sure it's not a dog and that's why you're getting what appears to be a good deal.

theres dan down with the kids:P put rover 400 handles on it it wont break then theyre much stronger, id prefer a zs over a clio, but you could get the clio and sell it with money in your pocket, but there surely is a reason he wants to sell it

Is it the 172 Cup version? That is a nice motor and very quick and light.

But I would rather keep the zed for looks, handling and they are so much fun to drive, they do have there problems like every road car does, I think you will regret selling your ZS ;)

My girlfriend had one when they were first launched, the biggest pile of French cr*p I've ever has the torture of living with. Power was pathetic, most of interior fell apart at some point and the bits that didn't rattled from day 1

and don't get me started on the electrical faults. I was on first name terms with the RAC man he was here that often because it refused to start/unlock/move

Take it for a long test drive before committing yourself. Compare the two and if you still feel that way then 'go' ;)

If you're getting rid of a ZS because of reliability/build quality issues, then a Clio is not a logical step. Just buy jap and get it over with! ;)
