I want my ZS back
 
I got my hire car for the week as my ZS is in the garage having the head gasket done.

Its a Fiat Punto :slap: I was going to get an upgrade as I order a small car thinking it was a fair bit cheaper. But they had no focus size cars at the hire shop.

The handing is a joke I already been scared by it going around aroundabout and almost blow up its engine dropping down a couple of gear to overtake someone(gear ratios). :(

Oh you lucky man! :laugh:

Shame. I quite like the look of the new punto. New bravo is quite nice too.
Not as nice as an MG tho he he

lol punto or MG, not a hard choice :) least you will appreciate it when you get it back :)

Fez 29-10-07 06:58 PM

Yes I am sure appreciate the MG when its back. That If I don't top myself before I get it back.

Its got a City button for lighter steering OMG the steering is to light as it is but with that using one finger is even to much for it.

haha should see if you could fit one of them in the ZS! :D

Really feel for you. When I had my head gaskets done I had a Ford Fester for 10 days and it was purple. Not nice. Now I've got a 56 plate Volkswagon Touran 2.0 tdi sport (7seats) for goodness knows how long. It goes round the slightest of bends on 2 wheels I'm sure of it but it does have a bit of umph to it when you put your foot down.

I own a Punto and although its underpowered and the city steering sucks, its been an okay car for me since new. not a patch on the ZS though!!

Yuck! Why are hire cars sooo crappy? the last one i had was a real heap of junk.... an old Skoda! :cry:

When my MG F went in for damage repair I was given a base model Micra :wall: with only 50 miles on the clock. This was to do a journey from Kent to Hemel Hempstead. Boy did that car scream in pain when I was driving it! I had that car for about a week and a half. I think it needed a new engine when I handed it back...:fun:
