In every way the ZS180 is better than a ZR160 from build quality to space to performance. You will be doing a step up and not a step down from a ZR160.

Would definitely be after the saloon TBH, however the extra doors would definitely be handy as even though I have the Astra for taking the wee boy about, when the missus has it at work I have to squeeze him into the back of the ZR which isn't the most fun thing in the world

Haha, I just KNOW I'd end up doing stuff to it! You're right though, depending on what equipment I get with it there would be very little left to do.

My car is now 4 and a bit years old and I still get people staring at it and also comments like 'that is a nice car' from people on the streets. That is what a standard mk2 ZS can do.

i was in same boat as craig, had my 120 for 5 years before i got my zs. totally different cars and tbh honest i like them both for the different way they went about the same job, loved it that my wee zr felt frenetic but still fun and loved it on the twisties round where i used to live....the zs is the same fun just slightly mair civilised but would still gladly rip the heads off small kittens if they sat there looking too cute

as said the main issues zs wise are plenum & vis going ker-plunk but also check the clutch master slave cylinder as these go, i will have one sitting spare shortly as i bought the upgrade kit you can get form sheddist over on xpf and just need time to get the ****** fitted

they are the main issues, other than that check horn works and the alarm isn't drowned

If I can find a decent-priced one and a buyer for the ZR then I'll definitely be having one. What colour though?!

inless it has the big wing because that knocks 10mph off but gives 25lbs of down force

And the book top end is a bit *ahem* inaccurate
