I want my ZS back
I got my hire car for the week as my ZS is in the garage having the head gasket done.

Its a Fiat Punto I was going to get an upgrade as I order a small car thinking it was a fair bit cheaper. But they had no focus size cars at the hire shop.

The handing is a joke I already been scared by it going around aroundabout and almost blow up its engine dropping down a couple of gear to overtake someone(gear ratios).

Yes I am sure appreciate the MG when its back. That If I don't top myself before I get it back.

Its got a City button for lighter steering OMG the steering is to light as it is but with that using one finger is even to much for it.

Really feel for you. When I had my head gaskets done I had a Ford Fester for 10 days and it was purple. Not nice. Now I've got a 56 plate Volkswagon Touran 2.0 tdi sport (7seats) for goodness knows how long. It goes round the slightest of bends on 2 wheels I'm sure of it but it does have a bit of umph to it when you put your foot down.

I own a Punto and although its underpowered and the city steering sucks, its been an okay car for me since new. not a patch on the ZS though!!

When my MG F went in for damage repair I was given a base model Micra with only 50 miles on the clock. This was to do a journey from Kent to Hemel Hempstead. Boy did that car scream in pain when I was driving it! I had that car for about a week and a half. I think it needed a new engine when I handed it back...
