Are these any good? Im looking to change our 2nd car (citroen AX Diesel) for something newer and a tad nicer. My budget is around a grand but most cars at that price seem to be piles of crap these days.

I have been offered a 2003 52 MG ZS 105+ with 67K on the clock for £1350. It has the extras like the 17s, sideskirts and electric pack. It does have the odd ding on it as to be expected of a car for this sort of money.

Im just wondering what they are like to live with? I know they have head gasket issues and that doesnt bother me too much.

 

to be honest mate two of my pals have had them in the past and both of them basically fell to bits, constantly devolping new knocks and bangs central locking not working ect always taking them back to the garages for repair but it could of just been them two but i wouldnt personally own one now after what ive seen although £1350 is cheap

 

I have a nice 307 HDi for sale in the sale section.............

 

used to own one of these very good little hatchback drive well and handle well, never really had any probs with mine. i did spend alot on it in the end got it to 192bhp . also the usual hgf is easily solved by fitting a mls one

 

hmmmm, i might leave it then. Just thought it was cheap, low milage and newish for the the money

 

ive got one its had the head gasket done it a 02 with 120000 miles realy handles well bit flat realy need to thrash it,i paid 450 for it yeah the body work has a few rusty bits,think you carnt go wrong for what you pay for them.

 

I have also been offered a 306 HDI for £1200. Its a red 3 door 2000 W with 150K on the clock. Looks just like a GTi 6

 

I learnt to drive in a ZR 105+. Not bad performance for a 1.4. Instructor kept telling me on the dual carageway to use all the revs. The yellow fades jsut as bad as red does.

 

A work collegue has one and has never had a problem with his at all drives really nice.

 

I bought one of these for 1k last year and its still serving me now aftr 25000 miles 156k.!!
great fun to drive aswell. Handlings spot on, quick and does 55mpg!
