Default Q: Are these claims on Zoysia true?

I just saw an ad on the backcover of Pedernales Electric Co-op magazine
touting Zoysia as the "nearly perfect" grass. They claim that it hardly
requires watering, mowing, or any other care for that matter - weed control,
disease, etc.
It claimed that it will even choke out crabgrass and weeds. According to
the ad, if I plant 1" square plugs in the soil at 1 foot apart, I will soon
have a lush green Zoysia lawn that hardly requires any maintenance. It just
sounds simply too good to be true.
Does anyone have actual knowledge or experience to voucher for or dispel
these outlandish claims?
