I agree, they are superb cars and are really underestimated by people who are either against the MG marque or haven't driven one.
Mine is not the most powerful or quickest car I've ever owned but out of all of the cars it's the one that makes me smile everyone I go for a drive.
It's just so driveable and fun, granted there is room for improvement on a completely stock one but for value for money these cars are superb.
I've had a few cars along side the 180 as in to look to sell it in the past but it has always been the replacement that ends up back up for sale as I miss the zs too much.
Really is a great car imo
