i couldnt agree more,i told my daughters i may get rid of the zs cos my m8 is having trouble getting fuel from work so with rising fuel cost will cost me lot more than wanna fork out,in the end they begged me not to get rid witch glad to say i havent and wont,i brought a motorbike in the end to comute local and with it being only a 400 i save on insurance and fuel so everyones happy,ive only had the zs180 for around 13months and only had the common probs come up like thermostat and normal running issues like brakes ect,its had 2 mot's since had and only failed on brake lines so apart from that i couldnt b happier with my zs,she's fast enuff for me,comfatable and fits the kids and misses with ease.what more could i ask for,best buy i have ever made considering had around 20-30 different cars in the 20 years of driving i think that says it all,its the longest i've kept a car and plan on keeping for a lot longer
