Dr. Burrito Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Curious if anyone has driven or knows anything much about this car first hand? It's a pretty different looking but of kit. I saw one for the first time the other day. Other than perhaps a bit of a small boot, it seemed pretty nice, certainly not average, for what that might be worth. Any first hand experience? Thank, Dr. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfish Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Well that seems to be a pretty general no. I would like to try myself but don't think I'd be able to see thru the windscreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique355 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 You would have to pay me a lot of money to drive a Ssanyong. I don't know if they actually hired a designer to design this car or if they just let the blind body shop worker do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfagtv Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I disagree with the two previous posts, I think Ssangyong are a reputable company, I know earlier versions had DaimlerBenz mechanicals, not sure about the latest models. Also, I applaud Ssangyong for trying to be a bit different style wise, and I for one will contemplate a Ssangyong at my next trade time. So tired of Toyota design, too safe, and I personally think the Vigo a terrible design attempt, but being a Toyota of course it will be a success. Much prefer the avant garde style of the new Mitsu Triton, also the older style of the current Isuzu/Chev pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I had a SsangYong Stavic for a while (until my driver totaled it!) It was definitely not, euuuh, stylish! It was however a very nicely driving vehicle! It also has a lot of attraction, purely due to the uniqueness, and strangely, the normally quite difficult Thai customers seem to like the SsangYong brands quite a lot.... Pretty good mechanics, they already had their own engine, the gearbox was still Mercedes sourced. Good service centers, and as my (now ex ) driver can attest, they are very safe to crash as well. He went straight into a concrete foot of a bridge at 80 km/h and survived with just some bruises on hos belly from the airbag impact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
