MY LOVELY MG ZT IS GOING TOMORROW
AND IT LOOKS LIKE TO A GOOD HOME
NOW WHAT DO I REPLACE IT WITH??????
I'M DESPERATE FOR A 75 CONNIE
PREFERABLY WITH ALL THE TOYS
I HAVE ABOUT 2K TO SPEND
MY SENSIBLE HEAD SAYS PAY MORE AND GET AN OIL BURNER
BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW, I DON'T DO THAT MANY MILES
AND I HAVE BEEN SPOILT WITH THE 2.5 V6
OH DECISIONS DECISIONS
PLEASE HELP ME HERE GUYS AND GIRLS

Well the problem here is everyone will have their own opinion - so here's mine

I have a 1.8T manual 03 Connossieur

It drives absolutely brilliantly only ever had general service and maintenance, does 36 - 38 MPG, complete comfort as with all the 75's

Cost me just £2100 a year ago with 35,000 on the clock and 1 lady owner.

I've upgraded it quite a bit so it's more or less an SE now.

There will be a completely differing opinion along shortly

Get a v6 tourer with LPG fitted. you then get the fun of a V6 but only pay £2.50 per gal.

Gman2 · 25th September 2009, 07:39

Why did you get rid of the ZT?

Anyroad my 1.8 connie cost me £1800 on an 02 plate with 75k on the clock back in January. It will not set the world on fire but it is a relaxed drive and returns good economy. It's not the SE mind so lacks the extra toys. Perhaps pick a connie up for £1500 then use the spare cash for upgrades? Doubt you'd get a diesel for this money and spec though?

after you having a 2.5 v6,silky smooth and all that power,not forgeting the sound..
would find it hard to step down to a 1.8,diesel maybe a sensible choice.
se spec with all the extra bits...nice

i hope to go and take a gander at this one
looks ok
but a cannot see anything about history on it
so will have to check that out.
i sold the zt because i wanted a more relaxed ride
at 49 i don't feel the need to rip up the countryside
anymore............

pab · 25th September 2009, 08:59

very nice..good advert and worth a look.

Montgomery · 25th September 2009, 09:55

That is very nice and definately one to go and look at IMO
Forget deisel if you don't do lots of miles and go with the V6

GreyGhost · 25th September 2009, 10:17

180 V6 best of both worlds, relaxed drive, plenty of grunt when needed.
