I went from a 120 to a 180 3 weeks ago and wish i had done it years earlier so much more fun (and fuel lol) but what the hell i knew what i was buying wasn't going to be better on fuel

went from a 1.4 rover 25 to the 180, well worth it, insurance prices suck tho.

people really seam to varey on fuel, people on xpf quote from 200 miles to 300 miles say, well i can get that easy with the supercharged ZS, and then others say 300-400

well between min and max is 200 miles :O which is alot!!!

as for changing for a 180, if you can afford it, and the extra expense go for it, the sound alone is worth it !!!!

If only I could afford the running costs of a 180...

I let one slip the other day. Every mod you could imagine, 190bhp, immaculate, 04 plate, £2000!

Still, I love the 120 and the power is enough for what I need.
Decent induction and sports cat will soon get the smile back!

I went from a zr 1.4 straight to my zs 180 hatch. The performance difference was brilliant, i also reckon it handles a hell of a lot better aswell!

I went from a 1.8 HGT punto (not a 1.8 ZS i know but same sort of power all be it 7bhp more) to my Mk1 ZS180 and have never looked back!

The noise is immense and will be better when i get the janspeed on it and poss BMC. In the words of that famous advert, JUST DO IT!!!!!!
