differences between the 45 and the zs?

How are u insuring a 180 for that cost me just over £900 for the 120 and im 22 but with only 1yr ncb and 3points. What about your mods are they covered?

Not based on any fact, but I would have thought this is true... especially if you were to get all the work done at a garage.

i would do most of the work. i've taken a sorn accident damaged zr and made it road worthy in less than a week and had it taxed mot'd and insured within 3 weeks of having bought it smashed

I've just come from a TDi Focus and it's like chalk and cheese. In first the zs fair flys and most impressed by the power in 3rd which is miles better than the diesel engine plonked in the focus I had.

The handling is superb, I'd read on the forums about it prior to buying but it really corners like a dream. There's some back roads near me that give it a great workout and it's just great fun.

Forgot to say the brakes are crap though! Bloody drums on the back are useless so if you want to stop in a hurry may be worth looking at the 120!

sounds good mate, tbh i have been looking into these a lot! i've been drooling over this one for a few days now:

Looks nice never seen a mk2 with the hatch spoiler looks alittle odd. Nice colour though

[afcbadam]

its standard. most hatches have them dont they? or is it mainly the mk1

i've seen the one on ebay for 800, if its been on there a while, i'm sure he would accept a cheeky offer

He's breaking it up now. I've had the front wing off it.
