Go for it (says someone who has never even sat in a ZX). Was looking for one for a while but gave up in the end. Started looking for a Tipo 16V instead, which I also never got hold of.
ZX closely related to 306 and was rated fairly well in it's day. 16V looks good too. What's stopping you?

Wow I didn't know they were so rare. I might just snap this one up and park it behind the shed 
Yep V rare, there's another owner on here with a few of them, I forget his name. Have a look on the "rare hatchback" thread he's showing them off on on there and very nice they look too.Mark

benjfrst or something like that?Mark
I have a ZX but it's a diesel estate one, resplendent with fked engine. It was fun to drive before that though (in spite of glacial acceleration). I'd love a 16V.
Owned an 94 L plater 16 valver for just over 5 years, a most excellent car! Added the 6 spd box from the Gti-6 and some GrpN rear beam bushes and uprated ARB. A great car with great steering and dynamics. Takes a bit of getting used too, because with the rear steer bushes they always feel like they are going to oversteer (and they do!) in fact i loved it, because it just never understeered, ever ;-)
Mine was mechanically robust, lots of bits of trim fell off, but i drove it pretty hard. wish i had kept it now........ ;-(

Look at the cornering pics (page5) and see which one of the cars has what i would call a "modern" cornering stance. In fact, it suspect the 16v'er was a bit before it's time really, as it was described as "too clinical" by the testers !! ;-)
(little known fact, a good friend of mine wrote off that very ZX press car some time later, years before i ever saw that article and twigged the number plate)
