Everyone seems happy to rag on Ssangyong, but apart from the obvious visual deficincies, I can't remember any bad reviews about them. That monstrous MPV thing actually got quite a positive review from The Car Show (yes I know, hardly a bastion of brilliant automotive journalism but I actually did watch it and the review was fine,) a lot of the old models were just Mercs in drag, they use Merc diesels, and they're pretty dirt cheap.
All that said, you'd never catch me dead in one.
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...
