·Hi - my first visit to this forum. Usually hang out on Scoobynet.
OK Ive been looking to buy an Impreza P1 for a while now but due to my finances and job insecurity at the moment I dont want to put myself to into debt. Therefore Im looking for a decent Hot Hatch to run around in for a year or so. Looking around at whats on offer I can honestly say that the MG-ZR 160 is the only one that makes me go "wow" when I look at it.
Im off down to the local dealer on Monday to take a test drive but always find that comments from other owners are more honest & accurate. Is there anything I should be aware of regarding this car as I dont know much about MG/Rover especially in regards to reliability, servicing etc. Also:
1. Wheres good for insurance - Ive only tried 2-3 places and Privilege will insure me for £658 with 5 years NCB, me 25 no claims which I thought was pretty good.
2. What is the car like for modding e.g. lower springs, decent exhaust, engine mods, brake upgrades etc? Anything that boosts the power significantly?
3. I see the Kenwood Mp3 is a dealer option - I have this headunit in my current car - should I be able to just swap this straight into the ZR dash?
4. Does it benefit much from running it on Shell Optimax fuel?
Hope you guys can help me.
Thanks,
Simon.
