I've had 6 ZS's 3 have been saloons and 3 have been hatches.

Personally I prefer the saloon, with two children its a much more practical car for me, if I had a dog then the hatch would be better.

I'm not sure why but I think my driving style lends itself to the saloon better, the ones I have owned certainly feel like the saloons handled better (except the Red Hatch which had Gaz Coilovers on it, so was much much better handling)

Dunno, maybe its just personal preference.

End of the day I would say that ALL the ZS's were different from each other, unique in their own ways

I have to agree with you there, I'm After a red hatch for my next ZS.

But number one for me will always be a mk2 saloon, simply as that is what I had first, and I love the saloon extreme spoiler

Hatch, I do like the saloons but wouldn't have one.... Either way i can't fit my bloody cycle carrier so need to think about a roof rack as the bike won't go in the boot of either version without stripping the wheels off lol

Isn't the spoiler on the hatch also called the extreme spoiler, the only difference being the hatch or saloon version? I only ask as i have been told, at some point, that my hatch has an extreme spoiler and i know the scooby ish saloon version is the extreme one too......

Just asking by the way, i do not know enough about these cars yet (still!) to confirm this myself.....

I thought the saloon spoiler was classed as extreme because it was scooby ish/EVO looking (although) I could be wrong)

Actually, yea, that's a good point, you're correct.

BRB, I need to change something
