Budget SUV’s. One seems to be better around town and the other is good at motorway miles. It all depends on your needs but at the prices quoted they are good value for money.
Back in the day my Father looked at Lada, Skoda, FSO and Oriental offerings from Kia and such like. He went for a Lada 1500 estate which was a shocking car but gave him 8 years of cheap and practical motoring. I even passed my driving test in it! He paid £2400 for it from Tony Cox Motors, Sparkhill, Birmingham. Salesman was keen to tell him it had a passenger side door mirror and servo asssisted brakes! We fitted the aftermarket rear window heater ourselves. Happy days. Value yes, quality no.

The MG ZS is a nice car for the money and the interior is stylish too and of decent quality.
The downside at the minute is parts availability. There is one in at work awaiting repair with 400 mile on the clock with front end damage. It's been standing there for 6 weeks so far awaiting a front bumper, bonnet, wing and headlight amongst other small items and there is no date of arrival given by the manufacturer to when they will arrive in the country. Luckily the customer is understanding and has a courtesy car whilst it's in.

I bought my wife a Lada Estate,,,she loved it,Yes it was old school and basic but she loved the upright driving position and she could see the end of the bonnet which she cant do in modern cars,,very reliable car....

It's the bodyshop where I work that have supplied the courtesy car not MG. It's paid for by the owners insurance company. There are a few obscure marques like ssangyong, microcar , Dodge etc that sell in small number over here where parts can be back ordered for several months. So it's not just MG.

We looked at the GS and the Duster, but SWMBO found both to be too large, so we opted for the smaller SUV, the Dacia Stepway. I didn't mind because it was even cheaper, but if I had a choice it would have been the new ZS.

The most worrying problem with these cheap vehicles is SAFETY, they are not up to the standard required for a modern vehicle, so lets be careful out there, and for that reason I am out.!!
