Assuming that you lot are talking about the thing inside the car, it's interior. This is assuming that you're attempting to type in English.

If you're actually using a different language, I appologise. Otherwise, buy a dictionary.


That's a bit harsh isn't it James? No need to loose it now

James is just sharing the benefits of his ejucayshun. It was a bit to harsh though.

Apparently the new 'bling' spelling James. Interia (sic) is more street as befits the MG.

It is a nice enough looking car IMHO the inside is a million times better than the old crackle finish dash of yore and given its age they have done a good job with the outside, throw in free insurance and it will be wheelspinning about in carparks accross the land shortly...


Silly me. I hadn't noticed. It was the lack of the words "innit", "spec" and "wikkid" made me think that it was a normal discussion about a new model. Now I realise that they weren't using English after all, but some Max Power dialect.

Christ, you lot are getting on your high horses about one spelling mistake and then coming to the conclusion that I'm some spotty 18 year old Max Power reader when I'm not.

Sorry but I was in a hurry before when I was typing that last post and I just copied the work "interia" from the previous post without thinking. I know spelling is not my strongest point but I normally know how to spell interior - honestly I do!!!

Anyway must go!

Bye for now!

Bling! Pukka! Mint! Init!

Should bide them over for a few years until the new car comes out (Set back by the Collapse of TWR ).

It takes 7 years to develop a new car, and they are 5 years into, so the best of a bad situation IMO

quite liked the old one...not so sure I like the updated looks

I liked the old one too it aint been that look since the updated 45/ZS was introduced. I liked the spoiler on the 180 model it looks plain how it is now

this one gets a "meh" from me. not a big fan of the slits on the side. they look a lot better on the SV. but this could make or break the car for me: does anyone know if it's FWD or RWD?

That last one was fwd so without I doubt this one will be fwd. Would be nice in rwd but it would all need extensive reworking; just not worth it in the end for MGR.

It's FWD, no major mechanical changes....apparantly the side gills are only meant to be on the 180 (KV6)....and the body kit is only standard on the 180 too.

As for the boot...yep it's not to my taste, but I believe the spoiler will still be an option rather than that boot lip jobby.

As for the person that posted saying that they thought the ZS was based on the 5dr hatch previously....no..you got it in 4dr saloon or 5dr hatch. And you still will after this facelift.

Interior isn't up to scratch of the competition...but a heck of a lot better than it was. The old interior was exactly the same as an old 1996 400gsi I had...but in a different colour.

Given that the 45 or ZS are supposed to be replaced by an all new car at the end of 2005, then I think the interior (or should that be interia??) is a good effort considering it's short life expectancy. It definitely looks better and more modern that the old interior!!!
