Having had a V6 espace and then a 3.5 V8 range rover I find the 180 is cheap to run.

ZS180 is worth more than just petrol and tax costs................ The smile it puts on your face makes you feel so young and happy. Its free medicine, makes you want to get up early and stay up late. If you want to save money buy a Prius and be a miserable ****** all day!!!

Look on the plus side, 180's are stupidly cheap, to the point of wrong! So what it costs to buy and then run would be cheaper than another marque in the long run. Like for like what else is there that is equal in purchasing price?

Read your own thread and posts after you bought it mate if you need reminding why you've got it, and a few from when you had your 180 before you sold it.....

Stick an induction kit on it mate until you have confirmed your promotion and your funds....

I don't understand you Bob lol! You're look at a VRS for 2k, with similar running costs to a 180, and mentioned tuning, which is only more ?????.

I dont find it that much more expensive to run then when i had my 110. Ok i'm getting about 50 miles a tank less and the tax is about ?5 a month more [a pint and 10 fags] When i originally swopped the 110 for the 180 my insurance went up ?10 a year [20% this year ] but then everybodies has gone up. And as run servising and maintenance you get that with whatever you drive. And the 180 is pretty reliable imo.
