MG ZR

The MG ZR is a heavily reworked version of the Rover 25. , and is clearly targeting the young population- although they wont have much hope if they're going up against the Golf R32 for example. Cars come with 17 inch alloys, aggressive looking grilles, brake discs all round, sports body kit and a choice of lurid colors. This is the bit i hate- my old school teacher has one of these in a disgusting bright yellow, in a sickening attempt to look trendy. Lately, my uncle succumbed to the ZR, and so ive had a few rides in one. Under the skin the new cars suspension and chassis have been significantly modified and it now offers a very engaging driving experience, ...  Read the complete review

i bought my zr about a year ago and have to say i do love it....with reservations. it?s the zr105+ model with all the extras (essential as very basic at base spec) in metallic grey. i got the car pre-registered so saved about 3k off the total list price of just over £13k (which i would never have paid for a beefed up rover 25) personally, i think the car looks great. just the right amount of changes to the bodywork of the 25 without making it look garish, although, that?s with my colour, not too sure i would have said the same if mine had been yellow! performance wise, the car is very respectable with 105 bhp it hits 60mph in around about ...  Read the complete review

The MG ZR 160 is much more than just a Rover 25 on botox. Yes it is based on a car that usually appeals to the 50+, but what MG/Rover created was a car that instantly appeals to the pre 25's. The ZR I owned was the 3-door in Trophy Blue, this is without doubt the best looking combination. The 3-door viewed from the side, shows off its beautifully elliptical window shape. Then there are the MAX Power looks. Big boot spoiler, front splitter, side skirts, twin exhaust back box, 17" multi spoke alloys with low profile tyres. At 21 years old it really got my pulse racing. So what was the ZR 160 like to own? Well first off, the interior. ...  Read the complete review

Well what can I say? As soon as I saw this car I knew I had to have one. I had always bought classic cars for the last couple of years including an MG Maestro and a Triumph TR7. I'd always liked my British cars but due to circumstances at waork I no longer had the time to spend working on older cars so decided it was time to by my first ever brand new one, and I couldn't have made a better choice. I'd always liked the ZR and as I say i've always liked to buy British where I can so I popped down to my local dealers one morning and had a word. I'd heard bad things about some MG Rover dealers so was pleasantly suprised with my local dealer. A ...  Read the complete review

Most of the reviews on here for this particular car are from a man's point of view, those who understand cars more than us females, and there are more various factors I feel that influence a man when purchasing a car, however this review is obviously from a female point of view and probably will not fulfil that criteria that a man would be looking for. I purchased my used ZR a couple of weeks ago, after having several new cars before I had decided that I wouldn't ever buy a new car again purely because of how they depreciate in value and in this current climate it is not really wise to purchase a new vehicle. It was a spontaneous decision tobuy a new car to be ...  Read the complete review
