Owned my ZS for a week now
Well having covered around 250 miles in my first week I'm really chuffed with my zed, I love the sound of the V6 and the way it pulls.
Planning on giving it some quality Bardahl oil at the weekend and a new set of filters (even though it was serviced 1000 miles back) also want to sort the annoying rattle from the rear bumper - tried new upper clips but must be the lower mounts need looking at.
Last thing to do this weekend is take the scuttle panel off and seal up as read on other posts, panicked today when I saw water on the passenger rubber mat, luckily carpet hardly got wet.
Next thing to do is sort wheels, unsure if to get them refurbed or go for something different - gonna have to ponder on that one a while as the straights do look good but the 11 spokes are nicer just finding some at the right price (don't want to spend £250 - £300 on wheels that still need refurbing.
I couldn't be more pleased with the 180 and I'm sure there's not a better car out there for the money

For the money, they are great cars and a future classic I'm sure! I love mine and when it has little niggles they are annoying but it's a case of balancing those with getting other things (like the house) sorted.

Glad you are enjoying, had mine 3 & 1/2 years and still love every time I driver her.
And as Mick says "plenty of time".

15~35 mpg
depends,
Very cold last winter doing short trips to work I was getting sub 15's
Took it on an ebay run a few months back and got 35+
New one back from Sheffield yesterday was over 30, Brakes and tyres could be better.
Binding brakes really hammer the mpg.

Gotta say fuel economy is not looking great for the first tank - it might improve after removing lead from my right trainer
