Straight away if i had a choice between them it would be the Civic. I'm a Honda fan so no second thoughts their. The Clio is nice as I have in fact drove a 172 a few years back and maybe it was brilliant or everyone else was sulking but it was great. We had in the family for id say about 5 years and zero issues. Only down point about the Clio is that I think the steering wheel is huge like i dunno for small car it doesn't feel right. And for the MG im not sure. I don't know much about them really. I always liked the look of the ZR its not ugly but I dunno they've never really "won me over" with them. I'm sure their a fun car but due to no experience im not going to judge it and call it shit

Has to be the ZR, still looks good so many years on. The Clio looks dull, the civic seats will make you ache

It's a shame these Car review people put the Mg brand down . But then also BMW could have done more to revive the brand rather than leave them polish up with the parts bin , like who'd of thought that you would take Skoda as a very nice car these days .

Oh bullshit, the MG is so much more sporty than the damn Clio. Its just that this video was taken at a moment where MG Rover was regarded crap and nothing special. If you own a good ZR 160 in continental Europe these days, everyone stares at you because they're so rare. I'm going to buy one. Its definitely hotter a hatch than my current Peugeot 206 GTi (which has 136 hp from a 2.0 16v)

Matt Howlett You could get some better gaskets for the Head. The Engine itself weren’t the problem . VVC loves a Revving it is basically Rovers reversed engineered Honda engine. After all. I once owned the MGZS 180 2.5 V6 it Handles very well and was quick too. Equally for a V6 it Loved a Good thrashing it’s thank you for it after and Ask for More . Sadly I didn’t know much about Lift off oversteer then 😱👮♂️👮♂️ oh dear .

Should have tested it with a MG ZS 180, same on power but would have won. The british motoring press always put down MG. Maybe they were getting a nice bung ….??? I have driven all 3 Civic was a great car but the ZR was not a million miles behind it. Put a ZS 180 vs a Civic and the ZS would win hands down with its handling and its liner power delivery. By the way its got Honda underpinnings !!
@velkovskinikola22 жыл бұрын
It is basically the previous generation Civic with a V6. Very interesting and good looking car, much better looking than the Honda. Anyhow just on account of the parts availability outside of Britain, and the two crash test videos I saw yesterday - one of 1998 Civic ( the MG ZS) and one of a 2001 I would go for the Honda without even driving them first.
