 | The A3 is too small for the baby and pram etc. Plus the missus uses the car on her own quite alot and she cant put him in the front due to the airbag and it hurts her back getting him in/out the back. (early A3's dont allow you to turn off the front pass airbag)

 | ZR is as small as an A3 inside. They are pretty quick but they are unrelaible esp on the later ones the build quality is shocking. My mums had one from new, admittidley got a bargin as they were going down the pan but for a 6 year old car thats covered 20k its fucked

 | I know a very well looked after ZT 180 version for sale if your're interested? Full MOT. 40k ish miles. Better than the silver one anyway. I think he wants £1.2k, but no part ex's probably. In N.E. Kent
