I own both a 120 and a 180. I like them both but they both are as different as chalk and cheese.
The 120 hatch is my daily runner and it is very good at being that. Fun to drive, quick enough for a bit of fun and handles pretty well when pushed. On the motorway its nice and comfy and will sit at 70 all day long but there's not much guts after that, you have to push it quite hard. On track its OK, standard it rolls a bit in the corners, was a bit better after I lowered it but I didn't really buy it for track days so its only been twice. The hatch is very useful and I have towed alll manor of cars and vans with it. A good all round car that has never given me any trouble. The 180 is my fun car. I bought it primarily for the track but I have used it a fair bit on the road over the last couple of months. The only thing I would say is in full trim it felt a heavy car but that engine makes you do naughty things all the time. The engine sound just makes you push the throttle harder and harder so you use twice as much petrol. On the motorway though it just cruises and when you want more speed, just press the loud pedal. Mine is stripped out and feels a lot better for it but I'm steadily building it ready for track only - yet to try it on track. |
180 all day, i love smokin the 120's of the mark, coz im still a kid at heart even tho im 31 cough cough

Still not seen a MK2 180 that nearby to me (Sheffield) ...... but this one seems to be "enthusiast" owned ... can't really justify t'other half a 150 mile round journey to view every car advertised, as I have various 4 kids activity plus my own rugby commitments every weekend ......... Comments invited RE: the add please ...... QUOTE from add ...Just to clarify (had lots of questions) All 3 timing belts, auxillary belt & water pump replaced with metal impeller version at 54000 miles. Serviced by myself every 6000 miles. ITG Induction kit fitted, VIS indicator lights fitted, oil catch tank fitted. |
Looks ok.

Well this one is a better selling price £700 LESS..... but is being sold by a "dealer" ..... would you rate the EXTRAS "All 3 timing belts, auxillary belt & water pump replaced with metal impeller version at 54000 miles. Serviced by myself every 6000 miles. ITG Induction kit fitted, VIS indicator lights fitted, oil catch tank fitted. 3 new tyres fitted in last month" on the other ZED to make the extra £700 asking price better value?

I'd have a look at this if I were you - I sent them a message and it's a one owner car with good mileage ...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-ZS180-2...item337d5af339 Of the 2 saloons you've mentioned, I'd go for the private one with belts done - take 1900 and I reckon you'd get it. |
