I'm considering one of these 2. I want an interesting 4 seater that doesn't guzzle fuel or break down too much. After my present car both will feel cheap and nasty, so the cheap interiors are something I will get used to again. Any ideas?

Thanks to you all.
Hello Nick, how are you and of course Nat? Is the ZS really that bad on fuel? those figures around town are little different to the Jaguar. The Jag is a superb car, I've always loved them, it feels as if it is made from solid granite.
I see the Tuscan has gone, how was she?
If I was to buy an MG I would not want to pay much more than about £3K, the Jag is worth 6 or 7K, but I'm not sure I could live without this car. I must be sure.

Nick
I love the XK too, XKR should be even better. Even mine is quite a character, a Limo when you want her to be, but is happy to lift her petticoat and go quicker than her 3.2 litres would suggest - quicker than my old Ti - and with a snarl that sends shivers.
So, was the TVR as unreliable as our friend Mr Flint wanted to believe?

This morning I saw a ZR160 5 door in Anthracite which is ideal for me being a family man. So, I waited and spoke to the owner, what she said really made me think especially the mpg figures. She said that she puts £20 in a fortnight and this last 160 miles around Exeter, also she and her husbands did a 350 trip to Heathrow for £40, this sounds incredible, is it possible?
