The ZS is priced at a point that its very attractive value for money + 7 year warranty etc. (likely longer than ill own it), it has nailed the brief to attract the average person value for money. I am thinking the 1.0 Turbo, something I never thought id say.

The biggest reason im considering it is the build quality, I didn't think the build quality of the 3 and GS was really there (in modern terms), but the little things, the door shut of the ZS sounds quality, infact it sounds and feels like a Golf, the steering wheel, indicators etc. feels quality like I expect in a Mazda/VW etc. All things that genuinely surprised me, I was expecting to hate it and walk away but im actually considering it, MG is like Hyundai was 15-20 years ago, but instead of taking 10 years to improve the quality its taken them 5. And I know the warranty is buying market share but its impressive they are backing their cars to that length, most manufacturers take far longer to back their cars.

Then there is what has been said here which I agree with...



Interestingly here there is no Nav.
The gs 2wd is the same price as the zs isn't it?
