Think going to have to sell, short lived ownership!!
 

After getting the car the other week ive finally got around to using it a couple of times recently, lovely and smooth and drives perfectly however I cant get comfortable in it, regardless what do to the seat just cant get it right.

Went on a 100mile or so round trip this weekend for a wedding and as nice as it is my back is now driving me mad, and thats before I get to the major problem, the ride quality. Ive had some stiff cars over the years, even a couple on coilovers but this just takes the biscuit. Im convinced a tooth that is now hurting is from the harsh ride quality! Maybes im just getting old or too used to driving Volvo's I dont know but I cant live with it day in day out which is what I need.

So majorly regrettably in some ways its going up for sale. I was planning on keeping it and making a trackday special out of it, but id be stupid to destroy such a nice example, will just buy something much cheaper and in worse condition next year for that role.

Thanks to all who welcomed me on here been good whilst was on and I will probs be back next year asking how to strip the insides out of another one!

Will get an ad up in the classifieds by the end of tonight.

Shame - at least you gave it a go ....

Yeah true, in a way my own daft fault for not driving it first suppose.

Is a shame as its a lovely car but just not gonna be useable for me, and thats before get to the ear ache the mrs was giving me over it!

Shame, but all the best with the sale.

Thanks its appreciated, have put it in classified section with a link to a pistonehads advert, will take me a week to get the pics uploaded onto here!

why not put rover 45 diesel or v6 suspension on it? make the ride nicer

Did go through my mind but still doesnt solve the driving position issue which im not sure if its down to the seat itself or just the angles etc sat at. Plus its chucking money at it for no reason if it doesnt work.

youll get springs n shocks for pennys from a scrappies/ebay and itll definatly soften the ride up, and then seat sure thats fixable too, , brilliant thing about the zs is theres so many different models you can change things with

Surprised to hear you whinging about the ride when you've got a Porsche in the garage ! That's got to be harder !

Thats the daft thing its nowhere near as harsh as the ZS, even running 18's its not as bad, either its much better damped when it does hit bumps or its simply much much softer on the ride.
