My partner and I are looking at buying ZST vibe, we tested the Vibe and Essence we have chosen to go with the vibe. Vibe does come with the 1.5L CVT and honestly its really not that bad it was still a smooth drive. My partner and I are both photographers so we pack the cars to it's limits as much as we could fit. Yes the Essence handle it a bit better going up steep hill and general handling but with that said I have zero complaints about the vibe. Only thing I'm upset about is the vibe doesn't come with heated seats. I'm 6ft4 and even when I'm sitting in the front or back seats it's pretty good.

I drive a MG ZST paid 33k for the top spec. It's crap. For many reasons. I just booked a rav4 awd cruiser hybrid. Current wait time is 2 years but I bet it will come down. Probably closer to 12 to 18 months. The mg zst uses premium petrol, you can't turn off or on the air con when your on a voice call, the sun roof has the most paper thin roof cover. So the car is on fire on a average sun day in Australia. The fake leather sux and gets super hot after a few minutes in the sun, you literally need to open the doors and let the car cool down. The touch screen has an almost 2 second delay between touches, it's frustratingly slow. So anyone saying buy a chinese car. Think twice. Think 3 times. Yes it's cheaper but so many things will piss you off about the car.

The MG ZS may have a 4 star safety review but so has my Ford Puma (which until last year had a five star rating) and many other cars tested in the last year due to new safety standards including some luxury ones. This means manufactures are updating models to ensure a 5 star rating but some cars will be more expensive.

@brookieboydabom Жыл бұрын
Really must have driven something different. I love the styling but that’s about it. Didn’t realise that companies made “bad” cars anymore. The ride is atrocious, the seats are unbelievably uncomfortable, the tech failed in dangerous ways (wing mirrors refusing to fold out on a motorway, screen resetting when trying to read navigation directions!) and the engine and gearbox are hateful. Even simple tasks like updating the AC was laggy, forcing you to take your eyes off the road to see if it responded to the button presses or not. And the cruise control button stopped working during a drive (would increase speed but fail to decrease speed beyond the initially set speed) - buts like this are dangerous and completely unacceptable. People compare this to SUVs, but it’s much better to buy a smaller car for the same money that won’t leave you feeling sore and frustrated. Even the parcel shelf had broken within days, and how basic a piece of engineering is that to get wrong? I would take a Dacia, Renault, Skoda, Vauxhall, or practically any non-Chinese cheap car over this any day. Do not think you’re getting a bargain because it looks like an SUV - you are getting precisely what you paid for. Cheap crap. Remember your life is in their hands and think wisely!
