Kuro Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 ... and the drawbacks fo course Having spent about 20mins in my Zed over the past 2 months, I thought I'd share a few thoughts whilst I'm on holiday and leading a moderately existentialist lifestyle... My company is kind enough to loan me an oil-burning Mondeo ST for my motorway hacking, and I can't help but respect it in a reasonable way. It's a great package, and whilst it doesn't sound or go like the Zed, it does have some great points. Firstly, 2 cupholders Seriously, it's great on fuel, and has pretty good pace too. It's better built than a Zed, and I swear to seeing a small South Amercian tribe living undisturbed in the vast bootspace... The biggest downside of Mondeo'dom is that noboby stares - it blends in better than a Navy Seal on exercise And so back to the Zed. I'm not sure how long it took Nissan to come up with the design for the throttle pedal, linkage etc. but it's just wonderful So much control, even if I smoked away from a junction or two today It's the little things, like the simplicity of the dsiplay, the flicker of the gauges, and the errant static that comes from the centre dash marked - radio... The balance - awesome; pace and sound are out of this world. But for me it's the looks I view the zed with the same kind of wonder, desire and craving that a p*ss head views a kebab... ah So, having covered a grand total of 8 miles today, the Zed goes back in the garage for another week. It's not even sunny enough for Megiuars Happy Zedding folks Quote
H5 Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Oh yes, just like each time I get out of the Volvo and into the Zed, you realise those little differences. Quote
nixy Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 what you mean is, you can't get the ladies to look when you're in the volvo.......... Quote
H5 Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 what you mean is, you can't get the ladies to look when you're in the volvo.......... He he, I used to Nixy, just a different class of lady!! Don't judge a book by it's cover!! Quote
H5 Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 I know exactly the type you're talking about! I've grown up now, it's now their Mum's! Ah well....... The Zed will soon be a modern example! Quote
Ian Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 I know exactly how you feel. Mine hasnt been used for over a week now may take it out later and use up the last 1/4 in the tank Quote
sl114 Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 I know how you feel mate. Im really going to miss mine when its gone Quote
Liam's Z Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 What a waste of money, what a waste of wonderful car!!! Why not have your company pay the juice instead of having the poor bugger collect dust in the garage??? I know. . . Today I'm gonna buy the new PSP but never play on it. . . . Don't mean 2 offend just can't see the point Quote
