If not a ZT/75, then what?

tourer82 · 28th February 2017, 21:34

I'm interested in people's experience and thoughts. I've had my ZT-T since May 2015 and just had it off the road for two weeks needing a new rear caliper. In that time I've driven our cheap and nasty 09 Kia Rio and a 16 Peugeot 2008 on rental. This evening I got the job finished and have done about 35 miles in the ZT-T

This is the only car I have ever had that has remained such a pleasure to own and drive. This got me wondering what vehicles other members have owned and continued to enjoy throughout their ownership. Looking forward to seeing what comes up!

Well apart from my 75 which I have now had for 11 years

.The only other car I have enjoyed driving was (Dont laugh) a Nissan Bluebird 1.8 Hatch Back.I did over a 100.000 miles in it and despite what people say about them to me it was comfortable on long distance motoring and good on fuel had good carrying capacity,and a good tow vehicle and was sorry to see it go.

Thanks Adrian and John for getting this off to such an interesting start. I would never have come up with either of your choices. I'm even more interested in what will follow now, I suspect it's going to be a very unusual list!

Apart from the rovers I've sold a 1989 E30 1.6 tourer was the only other car I've ever regretted letting go (library pic)

Hopefully she is also still driving the Maxi too

I've only ever driven one for a short test drive but I thought the facelift Jaguar S-Type's are lovely cars! May not be quite as pretty as our 75's but you can tell some parts are a little better put together on the S-Type.

My previous car was a 1992 Mercedes 300E W124.

Simply a brilliant car to own/drive/work on.

Super smooth straight 6 and huge inside (just didn't go far enough on a gallon of juice). When I had to sell it, I knew I had to get something just as good and as comfortable. I think I did alright with my Tourer.
