No worse than a clio, from experience of both.
I had one of these for all of about 8 months. Then I got shot of it, in preference of the 172.
You'll never guess why I got rid of it either.
Shame really, it was quite a fun motor really, I'd be looking for a VS180 now though.... although, in fairness, they're hardly world-beating machines in this age where 180hp is the stuff of 1.4 turbos, not 2.5 v6's!

"CS never forgets" style comment. Though ironically CS does appear to have forgetten. Admittedly "Mk6 Zetec S is the biggest chav chariot eva!!11!11!" hasn't been said quite as much as "best cash price?"
Interesting to hear they handle so well. Also interesting to see they're group 17 insurance. SEVENTEEN
Looked epic as S1600 rally cars, and the ZS in BTC spec.

When they came out they were the most stolen car in the UK.

I dunno, I think they look pretty good tbh? But I would as I own one I guess.
each to their own, exactly.
I just felt a bit too inconspicuous running around in this bewinged Rover, the Clio is hardly much better what with dsa stripez but the MG used to get every Corchav and his fat screw giving it the "what for" at traffic lights.
Mind, I was in Boston at the time, the people there are 560% r****d

Im yet to drive mine more than 50 miles on the road, so its something I havnt experienced. I can safely say I enjoy something a little more stealthy, volvo's are where its at...

Definatley worse than a clio, from your experience.

I think they look good, and theres loads of Tomcat Turbo'd ones about which is cool. There are some absolute rapid ones around here, in a straight line at least.
BUT I live very close to Longbridge, and every single dreg of society has one, and is constantly up your arse with his blue halfords lights and washer jets! Regardless of what car your in, if your young and its sporty, they try and race you.
Amount of times I've been in my mates Focus RS, my Type R, Renault Sports and a 1.4 105bhp model has tried it is un real.
Nice car, scumbag owners

No not at all. I'm amazed at how you know my exact experience and conclusion. Telepathy?
Different to a Clio.
Not better, per se, although, of course, EVO will say differently I'd imagine.
Remember the Rover 200 was an Escort/Golf rival.
By the time the 25/ZR came out, the old rivals had got so far that the nearest comparison was then with Fiestas, Polos and Clios. But even then, the ZR is a bigger car than all of those early '00s hatches.

They're both chavvy, poorly built, Euro hatches. Build quality and reliability is akin.

Renault Sport only becomes s**t when people move onto other things. I've noticed.
LOL. I use one regularly, wouldn't dream of owning one, nor would I own a ZR again. Fact of the matter is the ZR is no worse than a Clio. Except this forum will never accept that as Clios are clearly the pinnacle of automotive perfection.
Why come on here then if you're clearly peeved by the fact people are happy with their Clios? They have their reasons for rating them above other cars (including the ZR), hence why they own them.
I think the forum is quite realistic and open minded about other cars, generally speaking.
For the record, I quite like the ZR.

Its a fcking clio forum? What do you expect? I expect them to be ridiculed on other forums but not one dedicated to the car in question
As Alex pointed out, i dont understand people that use the forum that dont actually have any interest in it.

Only a minority are blinkered. I slate absolutley every brand, they all have their abominations of cars!
It's a forum that revolves around Renaultsport hot hatches and is more inclined towards "drivers cars", generally speaking.
None of the above you've listed have been renowned for making great drivers cars, as a result they're not the kind of marques that appeal to most people on here.
I agree with you Mercs dont get much love, on here they generally prefer BMW because they tend to make more sporting, focused cars whereas Merc tend to make better luxury cars.
Vauxhall and MG are quite unpopular among a number of forums however, that's not a problem isolated to cliosport.

Why do I use this forum? Because its more than a homage to the Clio.
All I'm saying is they're no worse than a Clio yet all this utter b****cks and slather is being bounced back because people don't want to hear it for some reason.
Nor am I JDM blinkered, I'll buy from any country. f**k me I also own a Renault.

At the end of the day it is an opinion. Nobody is right and nobody is wrong.
I'm pretty sure alot of people would enjoy owning a ZR I'm not just one of them. I also think that most of this JDM stuff is utter tosh, but look at the following it has on here. It's just personaly preference.
I think the diversity of cars/opinions on here is what makes it a great forum tbh. It would be pretty boring if we all owned the same Clio and just w*nked each other off about them all the time.
