I see.. If I'm honest I do quite like the styling of the ZR's, appearance wise I'd pick one over the above Pug or a Passat, living fairly local to Longbridge appears to have warped my perception
Cheapish Tax, Insurance, and good fuel return is what I had in mind when I started to look at them, other alternatives do look a little more promising now though.
After having a quick look about on the net I reckon I might look into getting a 00/01 Fiesta 1.6 Zetec S, they seem to be pretty cheap to run, maintain and insure unless anybody can advise otherwise.
Big-Dan.
*EDIT*
Something like this maybe?
