Faults:

Car is very old now, so there have been some minor problems, but I drive it quite hard.

General Comments:

This is my first car, but I'm not that innocent.

Such a good buy! Drives so smoothly, steering, gear change, everything.

Keep the insides of it clean to achieve full performance. I just recently discovered how quickly it can actually go when my boyfriend tapped out the air filter, and what a beautiful noise it makes.

Not the most common car on the road, and certainly not the first thing that would spring to mind when thinking of buying a fast car.

Turns a lot of heads. People who don't know anything about cars always think it is some kind of expensive sports car!

Interior in mine is a little gloomy, however I don't have the best model available. With the price I paid for it though, modifications are more than affordable!

Quite an ambitious car to learn how to drive in, but you can learn more than just the basics in it. Everything about it is affordable.

Faults:

Leaking Sunroof drain.

Brake calipers binding.

Corrosion on brake discs.

Worn drop-links on Anti roll-bars.

Rear suspension Struts leaked oil MOT fail.

General Comments:

Fast comfortable small family car.

Smooth lazy v6 when driven gently, hit 4000 rpm and it roars.

Has to be driven hard to appreciate capabilities of handling and road holding, firm and choppy ride on poor surfaces.

Early pre-ford (1997) Models better equipped.

Parts a little pricey.

Thirsty if enjoyed often.

Faults:

Spark plug blew out of the head on a long journey.

General Comments:

This car is spot on handles well and good on fuel for a V6.

Faults:

None yet.

Just tyres.

General Comments:

Very nice car, has alloys, very nice inside, all black, nice dash, very nice bucket seats.

The only problem I find is that the indicators are on the wrong side (on the right), which gets confusing.

Good speed, and acceleration, very nice smooth gear changes and brakes.

Visibility is a bit reduced at the rear, but the car feels like you're sitting in a pilot seat, very comfortable.

Faults:

Front anti roll bar links started knocking soon after buying, cheap to replace though.

Rocker cover gaskets have started to weep, but is a common problem apparently.

General Comments:

Is a comfortable car to drive, with lots of toys to play with including air con and sun roof.

Engine has to be worked to get the most of it, not much really happens below 4000rpm then it takes off with lots of smooth power!

The car handles well, but has a slightly hard ride, but this is to be expected on a sport model.

Normally returns about 30mpg if driven normally it will suffer if driven enthusiastically though!

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Best car I have owned in 30 years of driving different vehicles.

Totally reliable - reasonably economical and comfortable.

Bodywork is in good condition and even though it is now "getting on a bit" the design still looks good.

Fuel - average 37mpg

Tyres - Front 13k (195/55/15)

Exhaust - Rear Box replaced after 5 years

Front Pads - 25k.

Recommend 100%

Faults:

Only had the car 3 months so no real problems yet apart from when warm/hot it tends to nearly cut out when coming to a halt.

Couple of lamps have blown.

Passenger electric window stopped working.

General Comments:

A nice, quickish car to drive.

Good looking and a sporty feel to it.

Good handling and comfort.

Reliable so far.

Faults:

Alloys need refurbishing. That's it!

General Comments:

I can't tell you how much I rate this car. Before owning the 2.0 V6 I had the 1.8 Executive. The only fault I had with that was a window wiper arm going. I've had no problems with the Zxi though.

I regularly service the car at the main dealer which is a bit pricier than a local mechanic, but worth it in my opinion. I now need to get the alloy wheels refurbished, but this is the only thing other than the brakes (new pads) I will have had to get done since buying it. No mechanical faults during my two years of ownership and I've driven it into the ground!

A very forgiving car, reliable to a fault with lots of poke. The V6 engine makes a wonderful throaty grunt when pulling away and when overtaking. A definite wolf in sheeps clothing.
