Never Busy a Ssang Young car. My best mate brought this as a safe family car. The car has not even done 60,000 kms and the Gear Box has gone 4 times on the car. It stopped dead in the middle of the highway (all while his young kids) were in the car. Never buy this vechicle. When he approached customer service for a full refund they would not do it. I would like to see one of the salesman put there kids in the back of the car and see how they feel when it stops on the highway. This car is a joke and a serious liability.

Yes there are three child restraint points across the floor of the cargo area under the mat that are for the rear seat row.
I’ve had a 2005 model for awhile and they are very popular with the kids.
as mentioned by others the Stavic makes the Tarago/Voyager/Carniaval etc look sick when it comes to performance – not to mention much better fuel economy.

For anyone looking to replace brake rotor’s check out getting solid rotors (blanc) and getting them machined at your local engineering shop to suit. should only cost about $80 a rotor(to get drilled and bored to size) and you can get what ever brand of rotor you want.Cause all it is , is that main stream break manufactuers don’t yet do parts for ssangyong (hole paterns , bore sizes) , so you cant get them at supercheap auto.I am a machinist by trade and have to do this with my Hoysung motorcycle (korean as well)so in know it will work.
P.S . Ask for a cash price.

I was looking at a stavic today and could only find 2 anchor points that go between the legs of the folks on the outside of the 3rd row . but could not find anymore (unless the cargo anchors can be changed)and sadly with the new laws i now need 3 child anchor points in the car any advice you have on this would be great.

I didn’t see any. are they hidden or can they be fitted to it? any help would be greatly appriciated.

I have a 15″ Directed DVD player to suit stavic if any one is interested.

I have owned a stavic from Oct 2005 and the vehicle has been great to me. We have had no problem with it, I have 5 kids and there is heaps of room. We have been to the eastern states two times and up north of WA also two time. I am planning to go east again in May and again will have trouble free motoring.

Looking foward to the new 4×4 duel cab due in 2012

If I can fit my sons YFZ 450 Quad in the back of mine I am sure you will get someone to kit one out for a wheel chair

I also have owned a Stavic AWD Limited since 2006.I copped a lot of flack when i got it.I lived in Qld and did a lot of K’s up and down the ranges,nothing gave me more pleasure than a Tarago or Voyager trying to keep up with me on these ranges and also leaving them behind at the coast to drive on the beach at Moore park.
Daniel, you summed it up well they dont look so weird today compared to some of the latest shapes.
My kids have all grown up and now its just the wife and I so its time to trade . The new Korando looks like a nice replacement.
