Miss the 75 and like the ZT

Villa Villan · 14th September 2009, 00:07

I miss my 75 Tourer however I like my ZTT and now I am torn between the two regarding looks inside and out not to mention the different road handling/ ride if you know what I mean...I would like to go back to 75 land or would I ???

.

What are your for's and against on this no win but winning in a way situation?.

Cheers

Well tbh their both two different animals!

The rover has the walnut and leather and the ride of a jag, where as the mg has the more aggressive look and a sporty interior with a harder ride. At the end of the day it all boils down to what you realy want. imho the rovers the one to get, i do like me wood and leather!

I would own either but seeing as my soon suffers really bad travel sickness the 75 was the obvious choice

If you like comfort both in driving and seats, Good Looks or have a bad back choose the 75,
For everything else the ZT/ZT-T.

Put the walnut in the ZT-T...drive carefully around the bumps at low revs and you can pretend you are (almost) in a 75...but then when you want to fly....you can...

For looks outside it has to be the MG but for the interior the 75.The 75 looks a bit undertyred in Estate form

i have a 75 but have always loved the exterior looks of the zt...so i have changed the exteriour to look like a zt while leaving the inside as a 75...best of both worlds i feel.

Now that surprises me, my daughter was always sick in the 75 and the 75 Tourer due to the wallowing, very soft suspension. She said it made her seasick. She has no problems in the ZT? Dave

This is in no way a comment meant to upset 75'ers, but I think the ZT still looks agressively modern (be it pre or facelift), but the 75 is now showing its age.
Admittedly the 75 is a more comfortable ride, but a well-driven ZT will still worry a lot of modern cars on the twisty bits.
As for the seats, I used to suffer with back problems, but since buying the ZT-T I have had none (desperately looking around for non-existant wood to touch)!
