Love them smileys/happy.gif
in 6 months you'll be lucky if that's worth half what you paid for it.
dont think they have much modding potential either. they maybe cheap but id look else where to be honest

now is the best time to buy them go for the 1.8 or 2.0liter 1 in blue look smart as f*ck. ya can buy em for like half the price or summert now.. smileys/smiley17.gif
the 2.0ltr is a diesel, the ZR170 is a 1.8vvc.

I couldn't insure a 2.0 litre. Do they do a 1.4? It will be staying standard and used everyday. Its a good looking standard car i think smileys/happy.gif
like i said, the fastest one is a 1.8, they do a 1.4 but it's 105bhp, with 15 inch wheels instead of 17s.

they do a 1.4, my mates got one, leather seats and 17s multi spokes
there not bad looking cars at all really, the new ones are pretty nice with the kinda flushed tailgate.
pretty nippy for a 1.4 like.

I learnt to drive in a 2ltr diesel and it didnt half shift!
Was a very comfy drive.
I've considered them before now. smileys/smiley14.gif

save yourself some money just buy a rover 25 instead of buying a rover 25 with some silly badges on it

i do like the zr's but i would never go out and buy one. if i was given one, then i would have a little run around for a bit and then get rid.
what limitations do you have in choosing your new car sidesport? how much are you looking to spend? what size of engine/performance?
