I had a ZR160 before my ZS180 and I much prefer the ZS. Firstly you don't get the head gasket problems that the 160 engine gets. The handling on the ZS is better, that may be due to my ZR having budget tyres but I do not get nearly as much understear as I did with the ZR. MG spent a lot of money developing the ZS for touring cars and this has been passed onto the road car. Also the equipment is better in the ZS. Climate control with Audi TT style vents. Also those serve no use shark gill air vents look the mutts.
The 0-60 time is very similar to the ZR but it is not all rev the nuts off it to get the speed. The KV6 engine pulls well from low revs and has 2 power bursts at 3000 and 4000 rpm. Sounds great too.
On the whole the ZS feels more balanced and solid to drive than the ZR ever did. Plus you can get the family in with bikes aswell if you get the hatch version.
More reliable, more practical and more fun to drive. What more can I say....
