…Hmmmm…I wonder if anyone of you knows the fact that Ssangyong is actually made by the same company that manufactures Mercedes Benz. Does the other comments then mean that Mercedes Benz is a bomb??? Hmmmm????

I have a Ssangong and its a Bom .

They wont even fix it as it has now been back 14 time to be fixed and as it is now out of Warranty they say that the proble is not great enought to fix .

But it has a surge in it and it shakes like it drops a cylender at lights .

I just bought one. I reckon they look great. Not as good as an old Inter, but for $25,000, it’s just what I want.
Except for the gay-bo European controls which are gonna be a pain in the rear. Every time you try to use the blinkers, you put the wipers on. How the hell does this meet ADR’s? We’re Aussie, not Europeans, and we drive on the LHS.
I thought ADR’s were meant to give us standardization.
What a crock.

Please ignore my previous words written above ignore them utterly. They are a company with no integrity their word is worthless.

Please do not buy this vehicle, there’s a reason people buy Toyota, it’s because they’ve earned Australia’s trust. You’d be mad to do the same with this mob.

Most of you obviously haven’t driven one of these yet. It’s a dream. I used to own a Mazda Bravo, cost me a fortune is suspension upgrades, engine rebuilds etc. Then I stayed stupid and bought a Ford Falcon. Still cost me money in diffsetc. Then I grew half a brain and saw all these utes with the design risk eqivalent to the inventor of the square and a price tag worthy of a sports car and decided to take a risk, the Ssangyong Actyon Sports 2007. Bought it 2nd hand so I minimised the risk. Had to beef rear suspension at Pedders a bit but no major drama. This ute is a dream. Look all the same in your boxes for all I care I spent 10K less than the rest of you in a ute that delivers. How about that Colorado rubbish 3.0l turbo diesel that is about as efficient as a 10 yr old Musso, my mate paid 45K for that crap.

Realcars, the 2wd Tradie model is only 4k cheaper than a 2wd diesel Trition dualcab. Anybody with half a clue would see this as far better value and not quite as ugly.
