The Straight Six. My engine purrs like its new. Smooth. There are other niggles with worn suspension etc, but the engine doesnt have any timing chain rattles, tappet ticks, just love it. ( I guess i notice it more becasue my daily is a diesel)

The top comes off, the straight six, and, when I want it to, it goes like cr** off a chrome shovel. Oh yes, there is the noise that bounces off the walls.
Er.. did I mention that the top that comes off - all the time??
Also the smile switch!

My better half thinks that it's just another tin can but admits she likes the look of it and enjoys riding in it.
As for me it's a sustitute for the classic 'British' sports car that I can't afford.Soon to become a classic.

I like the purr and the burble on my straight six. I also do a double take from some angles when the top is down, it is absolutely stunning. I also like the way that you can personlise it specifically to you.

It's gotta be either the nose or the noise. My 3.0 pops and burbles on the over run and howls on it's way up the revs. I love it! Then there's the nose, it looks amazing! Long bonnet, nice lines.

I like the fact that no two Zeds are the same. Different interior options etc and then the chrome touches etc.
