MG ZT-T , any views or thoughts , any own one...
I seem to be having one catastrophy after another at the moment.
Don't ask me how, but I managed to park my pretty decent V6 2.6 SRI Vectra estate in a ford, and yes, totally wrecked the engine in a second, also filled the car with 6" of stream water.
Insurance company have totalled it, but will get about 7k settlement.
Now, having eliminated most low end estate cars that look abit bland, I am really interested in a MG ZT-T 190+ ESTATE.
They seem to have a good performance bracket and decent looks for an estate.
Has any body had one or tried one, or better still got one at present.
What sort of probs do they suffer from, and general running cost, reliability etc.
any views or input would be gratefully acepted, need to get a new car sorted pretty darn quick.
MG ZT's look to be a good package, or am I mistaken.

Might have to consider an amphibious vehicle the way things are going.

cheers
robin

Had a saloon Rover/MG as a company car about 3 / 4 years ago - spent more time in the garage than with me. Lots of annoying bits and lots of electrics playing up.
build quality etc wasn't great either.

Having worked for Rover, barge pole is a little short for my liking!

a very good mate of mine has one he loves the performance but is on his third gearbox all replaced under warrenty and only done 6000 miles- he does rag it a bit tho-- it is up for sale at the moment if the one you are looking at is in southampton -dont go near it-- for 7k an audi a4 estate might be a better bet as far as reliability is concerned
