MK2 180 kitted saloon

[mgstu]

Afternoon All,

I've got a ZR160 which, possibly im gettign old, but it annoys me seats forward, people in blah blah, so the praticality of a ZS is appealing. :)
But as its my everyday car, the mpg of the ZR is really good, also the cheaper tax puts me of a V6, so ideally a smaller engined 1.8 or even 1.6 would be fine, but must be a saloon, and ideally descent top spec interior, digital air con etc, and must have the full bodykit, as look ace! nicer seats, but these seem hard to come by, or am i just not looking hard enough. ?

this is the first time ive ever been after, NOT the biggest engine !!

what id do is go look at any zs and try and get someone in the back with you in the front, there isnt an aweful lot of space in the back with the front seat right back, enough for most lasses but a big guy i usually have to pull the seat forward a couple of clicks

[mgstu]

Ar ok, but thats no less than the ZR, and at least theres rear doors ! :) the 4 door ZR's dont look right to me, so time for a ZS i still feel ! :)

[Ritchy]

theyre great cars and yeah i dont think the 4 door zr looks right either, its probably similar space to the zr with the seat right back(ive got botha and never noticed much difference), i can just fit in the back of mine but ny knees are up against the back of the front seat(il try find a picture)

its no less than ZR, and i never go in back, its the door bit that will please me ! IF i can find the right car, most seem to be hatch's. ?

Thats a good idea,I have the drivers seat right back so there is not much space in the back,Pulling the seat forward one notch is no good for me as it feels cramped when driving.

Also, whats your budget and when do you plan on buying.

For example, I plan on selling my rio red mk2 110 (1.6) in 4-6 weeks time.
It has pluses and minuses and most of the standard ZS issues I have fixed which can be read in my threads.

It even has the major service done with belts etc and 11 months MOT.

Its sometime all about timing as I found when buying my other 2 ZS 180's

[Ritchy]

mk2 with the kit ect are easy to find usually, find most the 1.6 tend to be manual windows no aircon ect, unless its a + version which means it does, the 1.8 is usually better specced but seem to be rarer lol

[Smokey]

True. Mine has front leccy windows and aircon, I also fitted the heatshield and front fogs (only for cosmetics currently) so mine isn't too bad spec for the 1.6 model.

Not everybody is 8 foot 6! Plenty of room in the back of my ZS for passangers.

[Jem]

Im not by any means tall but still need the seat right back,Where my 414 i could have only a little way back else i couldn't reach the pedals.

[mgstu]

would want all electrics etc ideally the leather seats.., ? enough to buy the right car... lets face it youd struggle to spend more than 3K on a zs these days !
1.8 would be perfect, but not fussed, just no bigger than 1.8, as it gives me more options, with numerous K series kicking about nice and easy :)

[mgstu]

ahhha got one :)
