Ssangyong Back In Ireland

dbrunson

I see Ssangyong are back in Ireland recruiting Dealers. Looks like they have two models currently, 1 Crewcab priced around 31-33k (Hi-lux Money) and a "crossover" priced around 25k.


A new Rodius and Rexton ( that looks identical to the old one ) to follow.

Registrations total 10 YTD, what do you reckon folks, would you buy a Ssangyong?

Too ugly and too expensive. So, no, i wouldn't.

Ah the Rodius! Looks like a regular vehicle but with something nasty growing on it's back.

Saw an ad for them in the independent yesterday. They seem to have 8-10 delaers already signed up. The Koronda looks good. The Rodius still looks weird.

Maybe give it a few years and they might improve just like the other Koreans cars from Hyundai and Kia.

yhe korando sport is the cheapest crewcab pickup you can buy so id say theyll do alright, but having seen them I dont know why anybody would. The interior is comprised of the leftover parts bin from the 90s lexus is200 automatic, EP3 civic and various other japanese switch layouts that dissapeared years ago. overall build quality isnt great and the 2 litre diesel doesn't leave anyone inspired.

They're shyte no matter where they come from. Who'd have one over a Dacia is anyone's guess

For Forks Sake

Assuming the Korando is going after the Qashquai sector, 25,995 including 5 year warranty and 5 years servicing?
