    I had a chance to buy on 02 plated astra. I wish I'd grabbed it!! So far on top of normal servicing, I've had the head gasket pack up and now the battery's gone! Not the most reliable. I wouldn't recommend one to anyone and certainly won't buy one in the future!! However I must admit the engine is very lively for a 1.4. I wish I'd known about the head gasket weakness before I'd bought it. Ok for show but that's all.

    I got a MG 1.4 ZR+ 1 facelift in grey and it's so sexy haha and must say like most 1.4?? feels abit quicker am i right?.
    Only thing i have hated with this car is the doors very cheap parts as i have had both front windows stop working and cost me 250 each side and once i couldnt open my door from the inside cost nothing tho haha as they fitted a temp part to pass mot but still works a year later :). apart from that 2 tyres and a mid and back exhaust but that wear and tear to me.

    the MG ZR 105 is the fastest 1.4 out there, yea they have problems but thats a small price to pay for all that fun, my mate has a 1.8i vectra and i left him for dust, FANTASTIC CAR!!!

    The MG ZR 1.4 105 is a very good car to have, drives well , looks great , very quick for 1.4, nippy and a very smart car. only downside is tyres seem to wear out quickly.

    The 2004 MG ZR model has excellent handling probably the nippiest 1.4 on the road had mine now for 3 yrs all I have bought are 2 tyres very reliable wouldn't change it for anything else great car.
    I have not come across any car that comes up to the standard mine is all round BRILLIANCE.

    I think this car is more of a toy than a everyday type car.
    It's reasonably quick and sticks to the road very well and the MPG isn't too bad.
    Then reality kicks in! The stiffend suspension will wear your pelvis out on long jounrney's. The 1.4 16v engine has a weak headgasket. I've done about 50,000 miles now in mine and it's showing signs of the headgasket going but I hear a lot of them go at 20,000-30,000.

    The interior is decent enough pretty straight forward everything is wear it should be ...

    I have owned a MG ZR 105 1.4i for just over a year and spent over £300 on repairs its realy not the best for Reliability but the drive moore than makes up for that. TO SUM YOU LITERALLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

    Good reliable car except for the head gasket which is a common problem.

    Excellent handleling and performance. The handeling is excellent, and the performance in high revs is great.

    The car is by far my favourite car so far. And I € ve had Focus 1.6.1.9tdi Peugeot and a Seat Ibiza 1.9tdi.So I € d definitely suggest getting one especially if you love the lanes.

    Its a good drivers or posers car. If you just want a car that's reliable, comfortable or practical, there's a lot that do it better but if you want a car that has brilliant handling and puts a very big smile on your face when you push your luck there aren't many better. Would you expect anything more from a glorified Rover 25?

    My MG ZR 1.4 105 has lots of problems for a 2 year old car with only 30k miles on the clock. A nice looking car, nippy but lacks real speed for looks.
    Not reliable at all.

    If you get a chance to buy the MG ZR 1.4 105 facelift model brand new or 1 owner for a reasonable price then you should do it. If you are like me then the car just speaks for itself they are amazing to look at and drive. You can drop the prices at dealerships to about £7995-8995 depending on the extras on the car. Parts are still readily accessable and cheap to replace parts, there is no problem with getting parts through the internet or a dealer.

    Me: "So you you're saying there's absolutely no way you can get a bonnet landing panel and new bonnet/struts for repair?"
    MG Parts dealer: "Nope. There's a massive backlog and no production date forecast."
    Me: "Then I guess my car's a write-off then if I can't get the parts."

    (Repeat with pretty much every MG Rover Parts dealer in the country.)

    This was the end of what I can only describe as a love affair with the MG ZR. Just before Christmas 2005 an idiot pulled out in front of me with ...

    The first thing that surprised me about the MG ZR was the amount of total strangers who have come up to me and complimented me on my car. Beautiful and gorgeous are some of the many words they've used to describe what they think of it. I've heard bad reports about ZR's build quality being a bit naff, but I've had no such problems with mine. No rattles or squeaks anywhere even after having done 13+k miles. I'd also been told that the engines are prone losing their oil a bit but oil changes apart, ...
