MG ZR 1.4 105 Review

I love my MG ZR 105!

Ive had it 2 months now and it is my first car. I think that it looks brilliant and although it is based on the old rover 25, i think that MG have done a smashing job at beefing up the old girl into a sports car.

I mean god knows how they managed it with a socket set and a gift voucher from halfords, but MG made one hell of a hot hatch!

Performence wise i think that its 0 - 60 time is respectable, as you can leave a lot of boy racers in tuned up saxos for dust at the lights, which always puts a smile on my face :)

It also loves corners, as you certainly find that out when you thrash it around a bend!

The only problem with this car though, is that it is very unreliable!

After 5 weeks of owning it; 3k miles, its headgasket blew.

Its needed a new timing belt, the doorhandles fall off inside, the front right hand indicator light fell out, the front right hand headlight bulb has gone twice and now i need a new alternator because it doesnt charge the battery properly...

So on the whole, an MG ZR is the car to go for if you want a sporty car that looks nice and is about the drive, not the reliability or the comfort, because there are better cars to go for. This car always puts a smile on my face when i put my foot down, and if you are after a drivers car, then this is the car for you!
