My wife will take some convincing though - she thinks the worst thing about the ZT190 is the fuel consumption, so that's not going to help the case for a ZT260 .[/quote]
I had a 190 before my current 260, which I have now owned for two and a half years. I was fortunate in that the 260 had been professionally converted to run on LPG, which at around .55p per litre, makes it actually cheaper to run than the 190 was. Obviously depending on your mileage, it may be worth thinking about, before discounting the 260.
They are fantastic cars, and if you get a chance to drive on, you will be hooked
Don`t count the days, make each day count.
Vin 159. X-Power Grey, LPG converted (now sold:ash)
Criteria for my cars - the numbers of cylinders must be more than the number of seats:D
I had a ZT 160+ before the 260. (Xpower Grey mk1 why change a good thing)
Sadly the 260 is no where near it on fuel economy, a 'B' road average of 27mpg versus 14mpg and since I fitted the Xpowers that figure is heading towards single digits
MG ZT 260 #107 Trophy Blue, previously owned #42 XPG.
I'm sure I would - I had a Passat W8 before the 190+, so I'm a fan of 8 cylinder Q-cars!
I'm not in any rush to get a new car, so I'll just lurk around the forum and see what comes up. I've had a read through some of the older threads and I would have bought this one without a second thought. Shame I didn't join this forum a few months ago
That's similar to what I get at the moment from the 190 - around 25mpg on a mixture of roads.
