SsangYong Reviews

New Cars
Good: Giugiaro design looks smart, quiet on the motorway, fold-flat seats, well equipped, impressive warranty.
Bad: Pricing similar to superior Hyundai ix35, diesel clatters a lot at start-up, gear ratios could be better, small dealer network, lacks the polish of rivals.
Good: Roomy, well equipped and good off-road, decent tow car.
Bad: Noisy, slow and cumbersome on the road.
Good: Well equipped for the money. Some have seven seats. Capable off-road and a tough all-round workhorse. Keen prices.
Bad: Dreadful ride and horrible handling. Some dubious trim, such as the plastic wood.
Good: Curious but commodious seven-seater with an enormous luggage area, reasonable enough to drive, cheap to buy with 250,000 mile taxi warranty.
Bad: Even its own mother would call it ugly, poor quality interior finish.

    Pleasant, relaxing drive. Kitted out generously. V6 makes a good sound. A lot of 4x4 for the money.
