Reallly not hating on diesel's, would happily drive a ZS diesel

haha, no offense was caused, sorry if I came across as being snotty. I was just making the point that if you can see past the sound at tick over then a diesel ZR makes perfect sense when pitched against any of the petrol versions.
I guess its all personal preference, I have had a ZS 180 in the past before my ZS diesel and personally I prefer the sensation of being thrown back in your seat without the need to change gear. I know its not actually quicker than a 160 from a standing start but 30 to 50 pull in third (real world driving for overtaking etc) and its bye bye 160 Im afraid.
