I have two and use them as daily drivers.
You are probably looking at fairly similar performance as your derv really but without the turbo surge! But they do go well especially with a couple simple mods.
Very easy to live with daily and I'd probably say no different to the derv really but the killer going from diesel will be petrol.
I manage roughly 30mpg from both with mixed driving.
I'd say the 180 will be more refined and smooth/quieter but that said I've not driven a diesel zs so they might be quite quiet for all I know.
My two both were fine in the VIS department and vein the only two I've driven and either I've been very lucky and the two I looked at and bought weren't broken and rattly or it isn't all that common!
You can budget way less than 1k on a mk1 nowadays and I'd say you'd get a very good mk1 for that money!
As you know, go for an earlier one for build quality!
