Hi All,

Seriously tempted to scratch the ZS 180 itch. Currently own a ZT 120 which I love but its too underpowered, does around 26mpg around town and 38 - 40mpg on a steady run (60mph - 70mph).

Will the ZS 180 do around the same sort of economy seeing as its a lighter car, power to weight ratio and all that? Seems like I have to give the ZT some beans to get it to go up hills as the 1800 non turbo engine is to underpowered for the size of the car. Plus it would also be nice to have a car with a bit of ooomph...last one I had with such power was a Renault 21 Turbo donkeys years ago...that was fast but being French was often broken!!

Owners views on the ZS 180? I have seen a few and I'm going to look at one this weekend. Cheers!
