A truly underrated, under estimated car the ZS is.

I'm in the same position. I bought the car new for £14,500 when I could have bought a Civic TypeR (over £16k and no bloody air-con), Mondeo ST220 (new for £15,300 - bargain!), Leon Cupra 180bhp (don't know how much, really didn't like it), but chose the ZS as it was a better drive. I knew at the time that I was going to get a clobbering on depreciation, but, similar to you, I really don't see me getting rid of it..........and it's got 56k miles on the clock at 27 months old.

I justify the heavy depreciation by comparing to a BMW 325, about 30k new at the time I bought it. I know the ZS will NEVER lose more than £14,500. The BMW can lose that much again.

This is the best car I've owned for sheer driving pleasure, it remains to be seen if it can last in one piece as well as my 1999 400diesel. I am keen to have a good go at Mrs. Snail's Impreza WRX 2.5 after it's run-in, it's a lot quicker than her old 2.0 WRX.

All the best,

Gary.
