Autocar rules...

[mikesezgreen]

Did anyone catch a copy of Autocar this week (12 November 08)

In the ask Goodwin section on page 73, a bloke asks for advice on a decent motor for £3500, and say;s he fancies a ZR or a clio 172.

The editor reckons, and i quote "What about a ZS? no looker but excellent chassis balance and better than a ZR"

I think he was almost there, after all I find them quite tasty looking...discuss?

[stamford]

What? The ZS tasty looking? Hell yes!

[TjP]

ZSs are gorgeous! Especially the mk2 which you probably could pick up for £3500 atm if youre lucky. The mk1 is good looking too of course, and sticks out from the crowd in a very good way

Although the design is old, it's still a cracking motor - even in today's mix of german rep boxes... Like you say, stand out from the crowd.

My misses isn't over enamoured but i told her to get stuffed... gimme my zed hehe

I said the same to Chris really lol. She was like "I don't like the look of it, mehmehmehmeh"

I took her out of it, then pulled up at the pub (happened to be a nice sunny day) and she got out panting saying "my god that was awesome"

*smug mode*

I've had a bit of a mare with her...

She put up a battle when i wanted to buy it, she was dead against it. But i won the day (for once) and so ended up with it.

After a couple of weeks with her moaning i just said to her on a dark quiet night, go out, find a decent road and blast it... She was gone for about 30 minutes and came back with a massive grin on her face. She looked at me and said, I f*****g love that car... We are both in a happy place looking for a V6 now (in addition of the 120 i might add...)

I love it when a plan comes to fruition...

My missus has talked me into buying both my zeds and whoever said the zs wasn't a looker obviously has never seen the mk2, stunning looking car

Damn straight

ZS MKII there aren't many cars that look as good as it on the road. All the main cars look the same so the ZS is a welcome change.

ZS - MKII
ZR - MKI
