Hello, ive been lookin for a mg enthusiast site for a while, and stumbled on this one.

I currently own a vaux corsa but after seeing the new MG ZR range....I WANT ONE!

Thing is though, i want the ZR 160 (can you blame me) but i fear the insurance will be huge (ill be 20 with 2yr ncb).

Sooo i was wondering, ive been reading a few of the past threads and found out the zr120 is a good alternative. Whats the difference though between the ZR120 and the ZR120+?? Also anybody own the 120? whats the performance like compared to say the new corsa sri 1.8 and the fiesta zetec-s? (my other alteratives..)

Cheers for your replies! :)

The Plus has Electric windows and a few toys like that,,

But the best news for you is to buy your MG ZR before the end of March, COZ YOU GET FREE INSURANCE, AND VERY CHEAP FINANCE DEALS.....

Try one of the dealer ad links for a quote.:D :D :D

I would choose a TF if i can, but 160 is fine if you can live with the fuel comsumption :eyes
Its 30-50mph and 50-70 in 4th gear is actually faster that the 160. Not to mention it is torquey as well =P

I'd probably go for a ZR TD and fit a TuningBox to it.....I know it sounds an odd one to go for, but until you've driven one you won't appreciate the power on tap :)

I've got a 120+ mate, dont forget it hasn't got 17's and side sills as standard!

The Fiesta zetec-s is a nice car, but not as fast as the 120 and is also super comman!

The new corsa, well I hate them!
Out of these cars I garentee you will not be able to get the sort of buss you, get when driveing the ZR in anything else!
