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

Rumour has it that British manufactured cars are known to be the more unreliable cars around. There is always a fault of some sort that is either the car breaking down, not doing what it should, or simply just conking out. Such cases are most common in the likes of Rover/MG, Jaguar & TVR. This is where the new MG ZR160 comes in. (If you didn’t know, MG is part of Rover and is classed to be Rover’s more sporty side of cars). The ZR is great as it looks like we have a new car that is quick, small & cool and keeps its essential reliability, which is what buyers often want most out of a new car! The ZR is a fantastically fun car to pelt about in, ...  Read the complete review
