MG ZS 180

I think a few people here have one? I'm after some opinions on this car as I'm considering buying one in the next week. So far I've found this one which interests me.

Someone please remind me why these are so cheap for such a new car.......

Major service at 90k or 6 years is £600-700, but I doubt this would be the main contributor to the price of these cars. Perhaps because it's MG people generally shy away from them?

My budget is £4,000, and the engine size can't be more than 2.5ltr for my fuel card.

Thanks Nor, I've been reading about this VIS motor issue with the 180. Where can I get an indicator kit from?

I'm not planning on paying more than £4k for that black one if I can help it.

When you say a surge of power at 3k and 4.5k will this be felt by going flat out in any gear?

I'm already a member on mg-rover.org as I previously had a ZR which was wrote off last week, hence looking for a replacement. These VIS motors do sound bothersome, but I'm sure they can be kept on top of.

I need to buy in the next week most likely, so can't wait.

The only other one I've seen is this one but I'm not sure about the hatchback or green.

Saw that one, it doesn't really offer more over the black one I posted.

I don't like the alloys in black.
