Bobbyheinz Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Haha a good tip. When I had to drive my other car - a fiat bravo for a week and then go back to the Zed I even got a fright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyjason Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 i forgot how heavy the steering was though, i thought i had a flat tyre, but then i saw the many admiring side-looks then remembered i was in something a little more special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 yeah i noticed that when coming from a seriously over assisted eco box... thought i had two flat tires, then i realised that thats how cars are supposed to feel, not finger twirling crud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 did you have a good time in the middle east? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I drove the Mrs Pug 206 1.1 today, handing horrid, driving position painful, steering felt like my hands were numb, gear box was like holding a stick in a bag of marbles, acceleration was non existent, brakes were spongy and ineffective and the under steer was dangerous. I then drove my Zed to north Brum to pick up my new Taylor Made driver, and enjoyed every minute, even though I drive my Zed 45 miles a day. It still makes me smile, especially when the tunnels were quiet.... Well not for long There's such a huge difference between the two it's like chalk and cheese. It's surprising how much more you can push the Zed in comparison to a shopping car. I'll be honest I feel 1000 times more safer in the Zed. I my Zed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyjason Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 did you have a good time in the middle east? yes thanks, going back out on a few months, managed to save a lot of money out there, but there's still plenty to spend your money on, courtesy of American supermarkets!! they don't like to leave home behind... Now, question is....do i save money or spend it on the Zed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest I feel 1000 times more safer in the Zed. I my Zed +1 Wife had a Jazz and now a Mazda 2, and the feeling safer bit in the ZED Ian mentions with its huge reserves of braking, handling, power (when needed) etc just make journeys effortless. Thoroughly enjoyed a reasonable mileage today even though it has been pi$$ing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
