Rover 75's ????

[Ollie]

My mate has just got a 75 and says he can't believe the luxury. Is he just trying to say he did well or are they any good ?????
:fishing:

[petet16]

They are good.

[stamford]

Indeed they are well specc'd, well built and nice to sit in and drive. I remember test driving them when new and thought how good they were, a poor mans Jag at the time. The only issue is the badge for some.

[Smokey]

And compared to a ZT?

[talkingcars]

The bulk of the 75/ZT is BMW 5 series excluding the engines.

They are definatly better appointed than the 45/ZS.

[stamford]

Driven both and as you would expect 75 is the comfort wagon and the ZT has the handling when pushed hard. Both very good cars in their own right and much underated imo.

[Smokey]

Could only see myself in a mk2 260 though otherwise not sure why I'd switch lol

[Ritchy]

They are nice and well specced, but as with most things more spec means more potential problems

[daytona365]

They are nice cars. Remember that out of the 25,45,75. The 75 was a lot younger. The 25,45 first came out in 1995. The image of the 75 is of an old mans car. Both the 75 and ZT nice cars.......I will still keep the ZS though...............

[stamford]

I was looking at the ZT-T inplace of the Discovery only for the rear to be way too small for the dogs, otherwise I would driving one now. I'll be sticking to the ZS as have no need to change it for anything else. The Vectra Elite I have is a great allround car, not everyones cup of tea but it ticked all the boxes for me, wasn't even on my list to look at! However if I was looking for one to do everything I would struggle, so guess the ideal combination would be the VXR Vectra estate. So a good job I can afford to run two cars as the ZS is now relegated to the summer fun car.

Zt is just a stiffer 75 imho.... My zt was a great, cumfy cruiser and I expect the 75 is even cumfier... It just the 75s image that I couldn't handle to be honest.

[Alan.F]

I do miss my 180's but i love my ZT and would now only own a ZS as a weekend car, and as has been said the ZT is slightly stiffer than a 75

[KevG]

The bulk of the 75/ZT is BMW 5 series excluding the engines.

The 75/ZT uses parts from the 3 and the 5 series BMW range and use all the engines as the rest of the MGR range, BUT the diesel was a BMW unit.

[WalkerDnB]

would now only own a ZS as a weekend car,

same here I love my ZS but I couldn't use it as a daily drive
If I didnt have the poxhall Id have a ZT

[maxtherotti]

As said there great cars
I have a ztt 190se mk2 (so full leather/sat nav/cruise/traction/elec heated seats/xenons etc etc as standard)
This is my 5 zt now
but on a twisty b road the zs is still king

oh and the estate is long but low roof height so ever time max jumps in he hits his head lol and my rear roof lining is now black:evilmad:

Now you know why I steered clear due to lack of room with three Dalmatians! Nice car buy not practical for my needs which was a real shame as sitting next to the ZS and two MGFs would have made it a nice driveway! :D

[maxtherotti]

it does make the drive way a nice place :cap:

I agree, although the ZT is probably a better motorway cruiser the ZS isn't rubbish, and is more fun elsewhere. The 260 is a different beast though, and while the ZS goes around corners fantastically, the 260 is probably at least as good and just feels more special. But then I'm biased as RWD is more fun - I keep finding myself wishing I had the Midget here with me when it snows.
