2017 on Ssangyong Rexton

[Essexsussex]

Does anyone have one?! Believe 2017 was a remodel year.

Soon I’ll buy a car bigger than my duster and stop my inquisitive posts…

Look at the Kia Sedona. Brothers got one. It's very nice.

One of my friends bought a Musso pickup (different vehicle, I know) and wanted to give it back within a day.
Gearing was all for the road not not for the rough stuff and it was gutless at towing (he is a cow foot trimmer so ties his crush around all the time).
He ended up trading it in for an Isuzu d-max which he says is light years better than the ssangyong.
Not sure how that translates to the Rexton but ……?

That would translate if a similar era I reckon

Problem is almost every car you look at, you find a hate group that claims improper design and exploding engines etc.

Found this worst for Land Rover, seemingly the outlander diesels also kill themselves although none of the autortrder and other reviews think they are anything other than reliable, vw 3l v 6 diesel goes bang all the time, turbos explode on Volvos, and so on. Jeeps might as well be made out of spaghetti and sourdough pizza now according to online stuff (I had a Chrysler 300 crd which was just awesome, but made by Mercedes not fiat).
My assumption is that there only isn’t one for SsangYong as not enough people in the free world own one, although I think there are plenty in Australia etc.

I had narrowed it down to outlander diesel until this stuff put me off. The hybrids sound ace but the tow ball weight is 75kg c 100kg on the diesel, which I want.

Seriously doing my head in…

I had one of the pre-facelft models
The engine and transmission were fine (as was the 4 wheel dive and the interior) but the suspension was the hardest and most agricultural of any vehicle I've ever driven
My understanding is that the suspension in the facelift model is no better

Cheers

Ive been in the Ssangyong FB group for a number of years, plenty and I mean plenty complain about the lack of parts held in the UK rendering your vehicle off road for weeks and weeks worst case, that includes new vehicles under warranty
