sell the zs or the zr? stuck for what to do?

hi folks,

ive had the lovely zs 180 about six weeks now and i also have a zr 105,which the idea was to give it to the misses for when she passed her test,but at the min she cant afford lessons and to keep taxing and mot,ing and provisionally insuring the zr,but ive owned it upon till now for three years and never ever let me down, it does need a little tidy and spruce up again but thats it and the zs came with a lovely set of multispoke 18s i could put on it ,its done just on 60k,and the zs 180 has just clicked on 99k,with a good history,new clutch and belts done,but i dont know wether to sell the zr or the zs as tax is hefty on the zs and fuel is too a bit,but i love the zs power and the build quality so really dont know which to keep? as its ok aslong as i dont jump on the loud pedal but struggling to decide which one im going to have to part with and which would last me the longest,mileage wise,and theyre both silver too so i cant even pick which is a nicer colour to keep,which one would you keep folks and why?

Stephen will become famous soon enough
Pretty much everyone on here Especially Andy will say Sell the ZR. He sold his ZS and got a ZR and is itching to get back into a ZS.

Even if the fuel tax etc is alot. how about downgrading to the ZS120 or Diesel 115.

Rent a cheap lock up or a corner of a farmers barn & take the ZR of the road until your partner needs it. While it's off the road you can do any little jobs it needs.

105 or 180? No contest. ZS all the way.

Say goodbye to the ZR

ZS has to be the better option to keep... at least on here, I imagine the ZR forum may offer different advice

i know folks.i love the zs the way it drives everything and as im 30 on wednesday i keep thinking am i too old to be owning a zr now and the zs is more my age bracket or is that just me?but i love the zs as its been a cracking car but power wise its a let down after ive been in the zs,but the misses is saying ive got to make a choice?or do i try n get a multicar insurance policy and put the zr away and look after it a bit more and keep the zs as an everyday car? the prob i have is for five days a week both cars sit outside the house unused unless i go shopping with the misses,as i have to use the works van all week for work and get the diesel paid also so shes seeing it now as its daft to keep two cars?so im stuck what to do?
