Owned my ZT-T less than a week
I am genuinely pretty amazed by how good the handling is. I was expecting a heavy barge, but this thing is nimble with tons of feel and grip.
It has a certain something about it which I am really enjoying. I actually wish I had driven a ZT sooner than I have. Very impressed so far. |

If you can stand the harder suspension, I agree they handle superbly. The 75s are more comfortable, but the sharpness does disappear. Depends on my mood and type of journey as to which I take.

I consider the ZR a very good handling car and thought the ZT would feel sluggish and heavy by comparison, but I was wrong. It’s a peach. |

Mind you, I used to have a 218VVC coupe and that was lovely on a smooth road but on rough surfaces that could also shake you fillings at times. |

I was too scared to get a ZT, as I'd previously has a ZS. The ZS was an extreme machine: no comfort at all, and you felt every little bump through your spine! The 75 is, of course, lovely, but I just didn't dare risk a ZT in case it was anything like the ZS!
Welcome. |

Glad you like the zt.😣 Shortly after I bought my 1st 75, I was disappointed as it didn’t live up to my notional expectations, in terms of comfort. 7 or so yrs on...at 115k miles, this car is driving better than when I first purchased it at 50k miles. Must say, I’m more into comfort than speed, but I still think she’s nimble enough through the chicanes 😬 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
