Mates just bought one of these for £900 (02 plate) in a nice blue colour, 2.5 V6 and I must say it goes reall well. Loves to rev bit dated inside but a lot of car for the money IMO

Are these a bit of an underrated motor or am I just being daft?!

Just been looking at the 'facelift' ones and they look smart for 2K!

I like the saloon version with the vents on the side. Loss facelift.

Saw an 70+yr old woman driving the hatchback one. Made me giggle

Had an 05 plate 1.8 120 with a factory fit full 180 kit on it for my second car. Was 3 years ago now but from what i remember it was quite comfy for what it was, seats were very hugging and that was good. Handled nicely and felt great to drive. The bad thing is that it was a piece of shit, if you wanted to do anything with the interior like change the speaker or something you would end up breaking half the internals of the door getting it off and on again. They Also suffer from a big problem with the door handles, people just yank on them to open them when you should put you thumb on the handle and push against your thumb. If you dont youll end up breakig the whole door handle off.

Have fond memories of the car though, but bad memories about the build quality.

A lot of car for the money. I like the black facelift with fins and rear spoiler.

Double wishbone upfront and multi link rear arnt they? Quality chassis and peachy V6 sounds like a hoot to drive.

I beg to differ, the ZT was a barge.
