MG ZT-T, the 2.5 190+. Yay or nay?

I had an MG once (kinda), a ZR. It was pants but I've always been kinda drawn to the brand.
So....

This car? A worthy buy or a complete shed? Ignore the exhaust, I'd replace that thing upon purchase.

I've had a 190 for 4yrs and 40k and I've been very pleased. I'd happily recommend it - or a 260 or 135 CDTI.

Feels like it was made by an entirely different company to the ZR to be honest and it feels very different to a Rover 75 to drive too. Try www.xpowerforums.co.uk and www.mg-rover.org for more information.

Not sure where the idea it may be a 'complete shed' comes from but hope this post is useful.

Cheers, I've done a bit more research on the ZT-T and I've been pleasantly surprised by what I've read. The idea that it might be a bit of a shed was based on ownership of an MG product of the same sort of era and experience of the likes of the Rover 400 but I'm happy to say my fears have been kicked into touch a little.

Oh well, that's it then. Well-balanced and thought out, taking into consideration all factors. Thanks Nigel.
