Some CLOWN on the ZR site!
Some clown on the ZR site prefers the handling of a ZR105 to a ZS180! You may recognise the name BTW.

The power is nice, but I still think my old ZR 105 handled better - and I miss my ZR far more than I miss the ZS

Well, we all have our own opinnions I guess.
I havent driven a ZR, but Im gonna trust Tiff's expertise and wealth of experience in testing/reviewing/comparing cars and keep my ZS

Ive had both and the ZS is far superior, especially on the limate. ZR still handles well, nimble at low speeds.
I dont think the ZS handles pants compared to a scooby. Over took a couple round Oulton park the otherday

pmsl, fair do's
Have to say though, i'm wi craig...loved my wee zr an still miss it but much prefer the handling on the zs. It's damnt near the same width but aye a bit longer which means imo anyway it suits the twisty stuff far more. specially up roond my auld stamping ground which has some of the best driving roads ye could hope fir, have mair confidence in what the zs is doing to be able to push it harder

i am able to push the zs alot harder than i ever was a zr, have never owned a zr but was lent one for a good few weeks. not my car so i ragged it as hard as i dare and it still didnt compare to my zs, even when i take care of it. my rover 200, a softer version of the zr was pants compared to the zs.

Perhaps I never bonded with the ZS as well as you guy have done then. I think that was partially why I sold it on so quickly. I threw silly money at it and nothing really changed in the end... that was a bit of a kick in the nuts.
It was a great car no doubt about it. Better built, more solid feeling and without a doubt much quicker... but like I said on the ZR site I still think my ZR was more FUN. It might not have been as quick or comfy, but it was a hoot to drive and it shocked a few people when I had it on Knockhill. It was lapping less than a second slower than a race prepaired stripped out 1.8 Vti Civic!
