Maxxed_Ross has a spectacular aura aboutMaxxed_Ross has a spectacular aura about
Talking Most loved about your ZS

Following on from 'Biggest annoyance with your ZS', what do you really love about yours?

mine has to be:

1: the space in the boot, it's huuuuuge!

2: the torque, it just goes in any gear - and the noise is fantastic

3: digital heating controls. Makes the dash far more up market looking... and even better it works really well

4: that body kit... man it makes me smile every time

Glad someone redressed the balance with this thread!
1. The control on the corners at speed
2. The massive boot space for all the shopping!
3. The fact that my boot DOESN'T down!
4. It still turns heads for a 3 year old car

Thumbs up

This thread is a little more useful for expressing how I really feel:-

Speed for a 1.8 is terrific, its so much faster than the equivalent sized engines in fords & that.

Sound is wonderful, I have NO MODS & still people turn to look when you accelerate, which is nice considering I don't rag it.

Handles beautifully, you feel safe doing things at speed.

Side profile of the car is GREAT!

MPG is brilliant, I'm getting more than my old R25 1400 which is weird. (35-38mpg average)


Great colour range for all the ZEDS, I could honestly say I think the colour range is the best on the market atm ( shame it isn't too thick) , (( saw my first monogram other day hehe ))

I think the engines are mostly easy to work on, I do little jobs & then my Mechanic charges me pennies for big jobs, the Head gasket with oil rail was changed with cambelt oil/coolant/ auxillaries belts all for 250 pounds which I thought was really good.

Cornering ability
Sound when you hit about 3k
Torque in 3rd and 4th
Bodykit as standard - one of the main reasons i bought the car (along with the fact it's a V6)

I feel guilty for starting the other thread now.
The looks. The kit makes me smile and the spoiler always draws admiring glances.
The V6 with the sound it makes and the torque available.
The modern-ish (hey i also own an 84 scirocco ok) feel but with the simplicity I like with older cars.
The fact that all my rover hating mates have said 'blimey quite nice that'.

Blasting away from traffic lights.......hearing that V6 (even with knackered plenum!!), toning up the x-power exhaust at 3k revs

Still very stylish & a real head turner

Changing down from 4th - 3rd at 55mph & hearing the popping noise from the back.............marvellous

Roads with walls on both sides are just as good...

The automatic climate control for 2 reasons :

1) it never ever mists up or gathers condensation.

2) Our cheap ZS's share a major dashboard component with a £390,000 supercar - the Pagani Zonda
