    Hi DaveyLC, I'm on my second ZT 260SE and I've had this one supercharged by Dreadnought Garage-fantastic! You'll love every minute, especially if you dislike merc's and BMW's (great leaving them at the lights!). Also you mention the Clio V6-great car, my mate had one, but eventually sold it because of lack of seats. At least the ZT is practical. Go for it-you won't regret it!

    I've driven a Clio V6, awesome performance BUT it is a boy racer, bouncing over the road and frankly uncomfortable. I suppose it depends on your age, being a bit mature, to say the least, I've made my choice.

    Hi Davey, I have had many cars over the years and been very pleased with MGR products, I used to get a bit bored and never kept a car for more than 2 years,
    that was Until I bought this one, I have had it now for over 4 years made a few mods etc and wouldnt want anything else, there are some faults that can appear as mentioned in above posts but considering the cars are now up to 6 years old very few new problems are occurring which shows just how robust these cars are, servicing is cheap considering its size.
    I just love getting into it at weekends, turning the key and unleashing that X Power grow

    Don't look too closely at mine, wrong lower grill mesh, odd mirrors, kerbed alloys and other blemishes!
    But it's on the road and used every day.

    See you use your's regularly, just how regularly. I'm in a quandry about whether to go for one as I tend to do a fair number of business miles a year. I do have the option of another car, but that would leave it to do the school run - nuff said.

    I'm not desperately worried about costs, but given this car is going to be a future classic (here's hoping) then it seems a bit manic to clock up the miles on it, as opposed to just enjoy.

    any thoughts?

    ... and no chance of three cars on the drive!

    I use mine every day and for work (I'm a painter) Sure I'm going to be more careful but hay I feel that the car was built to be driven and the engine is good and strong for a lot of miles, fuel might hurt a bit but no pain no gain a smile on my face every time I fire her up, I look forward to getting up. Can't beat it Martin
