ZT all day long better more involved drive and better looking IMO, also better colours and interior options if not as tricked out with electrical gadgets, but they can always be retrofitted.

I'm 23. And typically like fast cars which corner well.

ZT 190 isn't that fast, but it does corner well.

Alot of 75 fans on here though, obviously somewhat higher up the age bracket

75 all day long. My son had a ZT, it was the worst car ever,, build quality wise, even he got sick of it even though he preferred the harder ride (I didn't!!) he got fed up with the amount of water it shipped in under the front carpets, we tried everything to cure it's leaks but all to no avail, even the panel fit at the front was way out. We spent a lot of time re-adjusting the wings and bonnet but we never got it perfect. Now take all 3 of our 75's, the panels fit great, all the lines and gaps are better, on mine they are the best with no badly fitting panels and it is so quiet to drive it's amazing. I guess someone will have a good one, there's always an exception but personally I would never buy one.

I am 50 / 50....

I love the 75 saloon for comfort, style and looks
and i love the ZTT for versatility, stiffness / precision and more sporty feel.

i would not be without either, but if i could only keep 1 it would be the estate for the versatility alone.

klarzy, I forgot about the estate versions but never having owned one I can't comment fairly. I would say that if I needed a tourer I would probably still go for the 75 although with the extra weight maybe the ZTT would be better for carrying stuff with it's stiffer suspension. I must admit one thing about my sons ZT, the handling was amazing for a car of it's size, truly amazing!!

I'm a 21 year old Rover 75 fan

I wanted top spec luxury with some speed for cheap.

I got what I wanted. Although a top spec ZT would have been acceptable also

For me, it's always been MG. I like the sportier ride, the looks and alcantara seats.

I've had many 75s, and do love them too. Just prefer the MG versions.

Do you now, and what happens when you find that by hitting the go pedal you start to run wide, oh yes you panick and hit the brakes. Oh, and you accelerate coming out of the corner not going into it.

When I was motor racing I met many young fast road car drivers, put them in a race car and they suddenly find out that they are as not as good as they thought they were, why, because they would scream into a corner find that they were going a bit on the fast side, instead of hitting the apex and booting it they would hit the stop panic button, giving wide eyes, white knuckles and trying to push the stop pedal through the floor. Oh and I am somewhat up the age bracket.
