SsangYog Musso Sports (2004-2006)

I bought my Musso as a tow vehicle to get around with my horse. Now I will preface this by saying that I think if I had used this car solely as a tow vehicle it would not have gotten me anywhere particularly fast but it would've done the job and for a cheap tow vehicle that's fine! I have the RWD Sports version. The electrics are terrible,… Read more

within the first two months of owning this vehicle the fuel gage stopped working and it doesn't tell you when your lights are on, these two things lead to MANY vehicle break downs. I have used every single one of my RACT call outs every year I've owned this car. I had to replace SO many things, the steering wheel pump, clutch (2x in two years), alternator, relay timer etc. And unfortunately you can't find these parts anymore so have to but aftermarket, my mechanics got sick of me and basically didn't work to work on it anymore and I had to find all the parts myself... This car was been drama and it's only got 170,000 on the clock which in Australia where I come from is considered low ks. OH and the hand brake is the size of a Ford falcon's meaning hill starts with a horse float is basically impossible!

That being said if I'd only used it as a tow vehicle or eleven better only used it to cart around stuff in the tray, it would've served it purpose.

It’s been a great worker – Usually work on myself , done 170000 serviced every 6 to 12 month’s main issue I’m having at the moment is finding a leak in ac line once that’s fixed will be happy man Bob Show details

Very average ute – Bought it 7 months ago with all view to having it short term until I could manage to scrape together enough money for a better vehicle. Primarily purchased it due to the Mercedes connection. Parts....my god, parts are a problem. If you're lucky enough to find a wrecker that stocks Ssangyong parts, at least you can get back to work. But prepare to… Read more

be slugged an absolute motza for the luxury. Driving is hairy as 100k plus, it's quite unstable, every now and then I could hear the roof flex with that wobbling metal sound. So I imagine that the structure of the cabin is pretty flimsy and probably without supports. Poor pulling power, just ordinary all over. To top it off, with 235k on the clock my timing chain went and broke the cam into 4 pieces and totalled everything'sng else when traveling at only around 20km/h. So it's off to the gold coast wreckers now. For anyone out there that needs parts, feel free to call them. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you. Overall, I sure got to use it short term. A very costly exercise that I regret going ahead with. A massive mistake. A real piece of junk.

Most Under rated car on the Market – I have purchased a 2nd Musso , 2006 4x4 fully optioned, canopy, cruise control, tow bar, fog lights, larger fuel tank, alarm ( not really needed) car comes with immobiliser. Fully integrated pioneer sound system, have a good mechanic and a source for parts. The ABS light issue is a computer logic error No. 41. needs to have diagnostic probes… Read more

input into the car and this clears the error message.

Min problem is that car locking system gets a signal to lock the vehicle when the engine is running and keys in the ignition..

Cars market value is extremely low, thus this means you can go and buy another one if parts become an issue. Not an issues in Australia. SsangYong dealers are not that helpful. Best to find a good mechanic who can source parts world wide. I sometimes have to wait 2-3 months, but this is rare as car runs well all the time and no real parts issues at this point in time.

If car is serviced every 5000km then it will run forever.

currently 2007 model is at 240,000km and the 2nd car (just purchased) has 117,000 km. Both vehicles run the same and appear to have same minor issues which are tolerable.

Barring vehicle collision or theft the car will outlive me. Currently both vehicles do 20,000 km per annum.

I have never had to do a wheel alignment on the vehicle until I put a new set of tyres on every 5 years.

I never put air in tyres the whole time. This is done during 5ooo km service.

Car constantly does 10litres /100 km for their whole running time.

Breaks last 140,000 country driving

Given the price of its competitors and class of vehicle this is definitely worth a look.

usual due diligence checks needed when purchasing car, to see if previous owner servicing vehicle properly, but that applies to all vehicles one would purchase.

Really Love My Musso Sports Ute – Hi I was looking for a cheap DualCab ute to replace my Hilux and after some research I thought I would get a good quality ute at an undervalued price with a Ssangyong Musso. I do quite a bit of mechanical work so I wasn't shy when I found a one owner that had a problem clutch/flywheel at a bargain price. I took it home shopped for a clutch and new… Read more

flywheel as the dual mass flywheel had separated and making a horrible racket. Price was about $900 on ebay so shopped a bit more and found a secondhand engine with good clutch pressure plate and a solid flywheel for $300 (so now I have a spare motor as well). Dropped out the gearbox. (Heavy job). Changed the flywheel clutch and pressure plate over. Now it runs beautifully. I am really impressed with the ride, build quality and fuel economy etc of this vehicle. It has heaps of space. Everything functions well. I couldn't resist dressing it up with a set of Nissan Patrol mags. A Landcruiser polished Ali Tie on roll bar. Nudge bar Landcruiser sheepskins etc. So now it not only is a very good vehicle it looks the part as well! I like its looks far more than the next model Actyon sports ute although they got better looking with the 2013 model

Problems with the ABS light – My ABS light stays on,the brake pads not worn, the brake oil resevoir is at its normal level. What else could it be. I,ve now retired but find it good to drive, its ecomony is great for this size car. It has done many country runs, it does suffer from wInd noise at a higher speed  Show details

What a wonderful surprise – My old car gave up the ghost in Carnarvon, WA. I was towing an 18' Caravan, fully loaded. I decided not to fix the old car and I spotted this 2006 SsangYong Musso in a car yard, a bit over the top price wise but I had a good feeling about it so I bought it, Diesel/Gas with 160000 ks on it. Hitched up the 18' caravan behind the Musso and headed… Read more

south. The Musso did not even hiccup, it cruised at 100kph with the caravan on the back and used half the fuel the old car did. I am over the moon with it and will keep it for a long long time. Only minor problem was the hills and I had to change down a gear or so, but overall it is a fantastic 4by, totally underated

Bought an 06 with 160000kms – I find it a very comfortable ute, drives brilliant more like a car then ute, very cold air con, brilliant on diesel, very reliable, only negative was the factory tape deck which I quickly replaced with cd. Was worried when no bought as I haven't really seen many around but very pleasantly surprised.  Show details

Not an ok car for Ecuador! – Perhaps it is an Ok car , but in Ecuador it became a disaster, no parts , no experienced mechanics... Now I urgently need a parts manual for the motor, and there is absolutely no place where to buy one, also in most of the case sI need to do repairing with adapted parts and finally it became impossible to sell, as it has an extremely low cost in the market.  Show details

de-valued too fast – north east dealer in adelaide are very poor service people and will duck rather than except to repair things quickly , first 6 month's of owning the car , the dealer had it more than i did . they have put grease marks on carpet and sun visor , paint on driver seat and dash which they denied until i seen the same paint on their workshop floor .… Read more

they left oil filter cap loose causing a mess after service . always forgetting to order parts to do warranty repairs causing several trips to get things done , they seem to cause more damage to cars than fixing them , they have scratched paint work . overall i think i got what i paid for , would never tell anyone to go through the same dealer price and rear seat size , can actually seat adults had to replce total clutch at 10,000kms , had 5 tough lids , they all warped out of shape and not installed properly ,rust in tub from excessive re-installs still stuffed , wiring to towing was wired incorrectly . interior light has never worked correctly . door lock fell out , gear box noisey . paint peeling off . some control valve to the turbo keeps being faulty . a rear door was twisted causing air noise

OK – You get what you pay for. I think mechanics are good but bodywork and electrics not as good. I dont see to many of the Musso Sports type here, its nice to know that there are others out there, even if they are at the other side of the world. The Musso has been quite popular here in Iceland but I dont see to many Sport.For 2005 model with 36K km… Read more

it was a good price for 4x4.Comfortable ride, seats 4-5 people well.Economy alright for this size of car.I believe engine and drivetrain is of good quality. A bit wobbly on the tarmac but good on gravel roads.Not the best looking car but you get used to it.Brake discs were worn out when I bought it at 36K Km.One morning the battery was dead, one of the door buttons for interior lights and the lights on the door panels got stuck and door panel lights drained the battery overnight.I have been warned about electrical problems, for instance be careful not to leave the key in the car, the central locking might decide to lock the car on its own. I try to take the key with me every time or at least leave a window open just in case..Could use a few more hp.Paint and bodywork, already showing rust.

Like Hyundai,40 years ago, nobody wants them,look at them now – I bought this car at auction,with 49 K, on the clock, is 2009 Actyon Sport top model ,it goes like brand new, no turbo lag,quiet and most of all economic 9.92lits x 100klm in the city only, you"ll be surprise the engine power. Very happy with purchase. go for it  Show details

normhaidamous – The car is nice to drive and the econamy is good and looks nice,when I was in Western Australia l meet a young man who is working in the mines in the state l afraid him money for the car he was happy with it, I got it in my name after that.  Show details

Cheap and Cheerful – I have a 2006 Musso Sports 2.9L Diesel manual with LPG injection. I'm the 3rd owner it has 160ks on the clock and is in very good condition. It has a performance exhaust system and with the LPG this car really gives great fuel economy. I have to keep looking to check to see if the 2 tonne trailer is still there as the Musso pulls very well. It is… Read more ·  1

quiet inside compared to our old Hilux. I have owned the Actyon Sports and it was very good all round traded on a SPR Rexton. The Musso is a bit "Old School" but off road feels more sure of itself. The Typical Ssangyong problems- The stereo craps out after a while, easy to change out but you have to modify the front speaker shrouds.

Yes the re-sale on Ssangyongs is very poor. I paid $6,700 for my Musso, I looked at the Nissan Ute with 330Ks on the clock it sold for $18K. (It was a crap heap).

But hey I paid $16k for the top of the range SPR Rexton with 110k on the clock in very good order, the new price with tow package was $51k. But some one has to buy them new!!

Ssangyongs are very easy to service yourself, buy parts off Ebay as dealers are a rip off. The old Merc 2.9 engine is easy to work on, the borg warner gear boxes are easy to service. But you must research the correct oils as most mechanics just put in what they have. If you need a clutch find out which clutch you have, you will need your Vehicle Identification Number (Vin) as the Musso has 2 different clutches.

In Western Australia the dealers have been keen to sell new Ssangyong's but do not want to trade your old one in. When I tried to trade in my first Rexton on another Rexton Barbagallo's told me to sell it privately!

As a family we have had 2 Rextons, 2 Kyrons, 1 Actyon Sports and now a Musso Sports.

Buy a Ssangyong second hand and drive it into the ground. It might take some time tho. Cheers!

A Musso most amazing! – I bought my 2004 Musso Sports 2.9l turbo Diesel Manual Sports 18 months ago with 160,000 klms on the clock secondhand to pull a small caravan...Had no idea that it would totally surpass all of my expectations in such a short time!!! Firstly, it was crushingly cheap (as a secondhand 4wd for this year and mileage it was awesome...I had been… Read more

looking at Landcruisers and Pajeros... all much older and with 300,000 klms plus for similar money...budget was around $6K.).. my Musso was fully appointed and accessorized , beautifully built, simple and straight forward to service for those who want to DIY maintenance,very spacious and comfortable, and great on fuel to boot! For a "Woolies McBenz" as someone else dubbed it here on Product review I have to agree..this vehicle is so totally underrated and is a totally hidden gem for those lucky to know them... Points for....cheap and easy to fix,.....getting parts for totally easy!(unfortunate history equals plus plus!!!.... Musso was was a lovechild for many marques (it's a very unique vehicle in this respect!!)...Mercedes/Daewoo/GMH/Ssangyong...so great parts support!...even better still on-line and cheap too!!!)Same as MB140/Sprinter mechanically so very common!...strong and powerful (though not overly quick!) Mercedes tech and engineering... Cheap on fuel...nothing else this size gets 9l/100 klms ! Reliable! Well engineered and put together...doesn't rust! Ride!...soft.smooth and controlled! (almost French!)(most Jap 4WDs ride firm as!)...Musso is luxurious and yet well controlled...feels safe,,,easy to work on and with lots of on-line DIY support (lots were sold to non 1st world markets where bush servicing and mods are the standard.... Pros...Not quick acceleration wise! Limited 4wd ability...not a huge ground clearance as standard without mods..(but plenty of grunt!)..very poor resale (bonus for me...will NEVER sell this gem! Not loved for it's looks..( I actually really like it's shape, but then I own Citroen s too..Ssangyong here in Perth is sold through the same dealer...lots of Ssangyong owners here in W.A also own Citroen! (go figure!!) Not the best for towing a caravan (I make this comment tongue in cheek since there are many times I FORGOT I was towing the van!!! ,,,,poor van! Nearly had it all messed up a few times! Lol!) Conclusion! I love this beast! Sad that they stopped making them! The Ssangyong Musso Sports Ute and Musso SUV would have to be the most underrated, unknown and unloved 4wd ever to grace our planet! Lucky for me! I have one!

2005 musso – Like my musso, so far have found great economy and reasonable reliability.148000km and the diff gave up for some reason at 120000, cost $2000.00 for 2nd hand fitted . This has been the only major repair so far! Changed gearbox oil as it seemed a bit crunchy getting into third gear, the oil I replaced was incorrect, the gearbox takes automatic… Read more

transmission fluid not gear oil!! The right stuff( dexron111) solved the problem. I now prefer to service myself as of no confidence in service dealers. Wonder if the diff had correct oil replacement ,? If any? The vehicle seems quite good, comfortable and I've used it towing vans on holidays and as a work/everyday vehicle.overall happy, it is the first new car I ever bought and will consider another ssanyong in a year or two.

A Hidden Gem in the Auto World – Bought ours new in 05 We have been right around Australia towing a light caravan (did 30.000 Klm that trip) after that we took it and punished it up the Old Telegraph Track to the top, it went where all the so called "big boys" went with ease. It is looked after well (by me, a retired deisel engineer) with an opened out exhaust, street legal,… Read more

sounds beautiful! and it has raised the power by at least fifteen "GGs'

Last week we did a trip from Bribie Island to Coffs Harbour without anything behind it and sat on around 100-105 and returned height eights for fuel Wonderful for two tonne of vehicle.

Also it relatively easy to add rear door courtsey lights,the switches are already fitted, so all that is needed is a bit of cable and the odd terminal.

I have also removed the plastic bumper infills and fitted factory driving lights, (boy are these good)

We got 100,000 klm out of the first set of tyres (and most of that was towing either the van or a lot heavier boat) but as soon as we took delivery of it, it went to Pedders for and adjustment to Australian conditions.

Other than routine stuff it hasn't cost us a cent and it is going to stay in our possession till it drops (or we do first)

My wife loves it and prefers to drive the Musso than our other vehicle, in fact it is the car of her choice at the best of times over many others that she at times gets to drive.

I have made one very important mod. to the rear end though, and fitted air bags for rear stability when towing, again cheap and easy to fit, I has a 3XM canopy and an extra Anderson plug in rear for the fridge, but other than Cruise, Steps, Alloys, Alarm and higher diff breathers (for water crossings) thats about it!.

It may be "old tech Merc" but it is so reliable, comfy, quiet and above all sooo easy to drive.

Dunno what the Actyon is like! the new one looks a lot better than the first one which looked like a busted thong at the front.

But the "Musso Rules"

The car is the best vehicle I have ever purchased – Purchased in May 2007 I own a Ssanyong Musso Sports, automatic pickup. 2.9 litre. no problems for 138,000km . Tires (made in Korea last 110,000km and still have old ones as they have another 10,ooo km in them.. spares. fuel effieiency as per manual. never put air in tires myself. serviced every 5000km and change all oils filters. Runs well and… Read more ·  1

smooth. Never had a need to lift the bonnet. this is done during servicing only. Well alignment is perfect and never had issue with it . rotate as per manual. Interior engine still looks as new. No wear on on interior at all at this stage. Not impressed with Ssanyong dealers. Use local mechanic who knows what he is doing. care is relaible, fuel efficient, has sufficient power, runs like a sedan but is stil a small truck.

Trippin'on my Musso Black Ute ;) – Hi yo all..my name is Flash..my Truck is Midnight Flash..what an awesime Ute..bought her Brand New..picked her up from the Holding Yard..glory all the way..had her a longtime now..only problem it uph7ll losers power somewhat and whenever i wash her my light globe blows..in headlight..but yo know she rocks! :) heads up! Should b put up with Merc'as… Read more

a great one as she is..a KeepeR! Everything style badges etc comfort and Econmy Headlights blow Intermitently after washing..slow on uphill..thats all ;)

SAD TO SEE HER GO!!! – 2006 Ssangyong musso sports 4x4 black auto... bought the car 2nd hand from a dealer back in 2007 with 35000km on the clock. recently i decided to upgrade to a toyota hilux sr 4x4 and will pick up the vehicle mid next week. The Musso had recently done 215,000km and apart from some minor issues, it was one awesome vehicle, all my friends had the… Read more

normal hilux, triton etc and all were not impressed when i rolled up in the Musso...the car was simply great... reliable and a work horse... most undervalued vehicle on the market.. and this is coming from someone who has previously owned a navara. Anyone considering buying one 2nd hand go for it. The only downsides I found were the resale value and finding a proper diesel mechanic which i recommend. all my friends hold the Musso in high regards after seeing what the car went through. Towing a 4.2m boat, cherrypickers and trailers were no hassle at all... the more KMs i clocked the more fuel efficient the car was... overtaking power and anything above 110km was a stuggle... fishing trips and minor 4x4 was very doable Most under-rated vehicle.. hope this helps someone... Value, reliable, just kept going overtaking, resale value, finding a proper diesel mechanic

spacious and reliable – i needed a 4x4 for work (family business) and was shocked to find all the utes had such high klms for my budget, so i took a punt and went to a dealer to check it out, i can only compare to my previous 2 utes (98 triton and 02 navara) and i must say that i was impressed with the solid feel and quality of plastics and lack of rattles. I tested… Read more

the Actyon and felt i liked the old school of the 2006 musso a bit better, it has ample power, is very comfortable (im 6 foot) you dont feel like your sitting on the floor like other utes so you get better under thigh support and due to the extra cabin height/width and length i can fit my kids in the back without moving my seat forward, although the tray is small because of this,i have only taken it off road a little and so far so good, it tows quite well for a small engine and is economical. i used to think the musso was ugly but it now seems ok next to the mazdas/holdens and greatwalls. I have now done 5 thousand klm and i am very happy with my purchase. Northern Ssangyong in Bundoora Victoria are fantastic and were half the reason for me taking a chance with an unknown brand to me. Their service is awesome.

I would definitely buy another ssangyong! space, low price, economical, comfort, solid feel, better than i thought quality could do with a little more get up and go, could do with a minor lift for extra clearence and front underbody bash plate should be a bit stronger

Good – We are very happy with the vehicle, no longer any agent in Kalgoorlie/Boulder, we use Panuccio Autos in Bunbury. They specialise in Ssangyong service and repairs, are very help full and friendly. No problems apart from the motor racing. Have had it checked out, nothing on the computer. May try a transmission cooler. I have a 2x4 musso auto 2005,… Read more

68000kms, very happy, no complaints, towing 1700kg poptop. Would buy another, when this one wears out. Only when towing van, motor will race from 2500rmp to 3500rmp for a short time then drop back, does not appear to drop a gear.(even in Power Mode) Any ideas?

Good – Good car, would be happy to have another but am concerned about the poor resale value. Best to keep it me thinks. Would be interested to hear from anyone that has done 150 plus klms to hear their experiences. affordable, economical and has enough power to do the job. I tow a large boat beautifully along the highway and with only minimum loss of… Read more

power up hills. Heaps of leg room in back which is one reason I bought it. Have a good dealer in Canberra so any small probs have been rectified. Biggest prob after 62,000kms has been to replace link in throttle cable and a component in drivers side electric window. so far so good. sounds like some people have got lemons and thats unfortunate because this is really a great vehicle.

Good reliable vehicle – Bought a 2004 Musso Sports second hand from Ssangyong dealer. Have had good use of the vehicle, few problems, no more than any other vehicle I have had. Drives well can carry a reasonable load, 300Kg, and handles well with the load. Comfortable to drive on long trips. Changed the radio because it didn't take CD's, and had a new windscreen because… Read more

of leak.The headrests are too big in the rear compartment, had to remove the left one for reversing, blocked view.

When anything goes wrong with the electric windows or door locks very expensive to get repaired. Don't know if this is the same on other vehicles, first car with all electrics. Service is not too expensive, cheaper than some.

Would like to see a reversing camera and reversing beeper on vehicle, better for backing. and the door pockets are useless, too small and too deep. Appearance,comfort,drives well. Good as workhorse and going out vehicle. Biggest problem, getting hold of Repair Manual for the vehicle. Is it a great secret how these vehicles are built and the part no's of spares?

Terrible – I have lost my brakes 4 times it has been in around 20 times to be fixt and it still dosnt run no refuned or replacment car offedred, no tows or loan cars. Nouthing all it dose is brake down My Musso sports ute bought seconh hand through a Sangyong dealer off whom recondiond the motor, has not had the car running since pick up Show details

Excellent – Getting it in to 4 wheel drive is a lot easier than others I tested prior to purchase. The seat height is excellent for those who have knee problems and/or a below knee prosthetic. Plenty of storage area behind the back seat and a good sized glove compartment. The air conditioner freezes me and the heater cooks me, using either doesn't seem to… Read more ·  1

affect fuel economy greatly.

I have a 2006 Dual Cab Sports and would prefer Ssangyong went back to these instead of the ugly and less impressive Actyon. Very economical, comfortable and spacious. Does everything I want it to do and would probably do a lot more if required. Plenty of room for a right foot accelerator (for those with disabilities), allows plenty of clearance from the brake pedal. Had some minor problems, none of which took more than 30 minutes to fix. Don't like the passenger side mirror but most cars have those silly convex mirrors. Coin storage doesn't really suit Australian coins.

Good – overall the musso is a good 4wd with a few problems that could quite easily be fixed if the service people got their act together I own the musso sports ute.It's a good 4wd for the price. On the sand it will go anywhere, in the bush you have to be more careful because of the height, but a bigger set of springs & tyres help just a couple of… Read more

things,the glow plugs don't come on before you start the motor 2/ sometimes the engine will not shut down straight away. The last thing is the front hubs will not engage. The dealer in brisbane wants $125 per hour just to look at it before he lifts a spanner. So if anyone knows how to fix the problem with the hubs please let me know

OK – up to the diff problem was very happy. could put up with minor issues as it is a great vehicle to cruise in comfortable cruising vehicle with good fuel economy. labours a bit towing a small boat up long hills on the highway but ok when the turbo clicks in. as with some other reviewers above I am wary about leaving keys in the ignition with the… Read more

window up. my greatest concern is a recent problem with the rear differential. after 80000 kilometres the diff is noisy and apparently there is a problem with the pinion bearing. ssangyong's response was that it is out of warranty and that is that. have not done any heavy towing or driving that could cause problems. interested to see that two other reviewers have also reported diff problems - 2 out of 77 is not real flash

Good – I find it very simmular to a pathfinder i used to own, great to drive and certainly alot cheaper to run, mine is white and has very dark tinted windows and s/steel roll bar, it sure gets a lot of looks when its out on the road, very smart I have had my Musso sports now for three weeks, and have done 2500km, so far it has been great, no problems,… Read more

and with 8.3lt per hundred km it makes it very cheap to run, There is a lack of power down low but i am getting used to it, you just have to ajust your driving style a bit, i will look at fitting some hiclones later,and maybe exhurst mods to

Good – The vehicle exceeds my expectations as I was told by other dealerships not to even look at one let alone purchase one. My how wrong they are; maybe they know how good they really are. I would have no hesitation in recomending the Musso. being a former owner of mercedes benz cars I may be a little biased. I find that the vehicleis very comfortable… Read more

to ride in, we don't hesitate to travel up to six hours at a time. The leg room in the back is very good. It has excellent economy, and good road holding ability when you compare the Musso to other ATVs. Strangely enough the clock seems to decide when it is time to change. The dust seal around the tailgate is non existant.

Good – Just completed a 2600km trip up Noth West cape 120 plus on rough dirt had a great time no rattles and the car got better with ever Km only had 2000 on the clock when i left. After 5000 km it has freed up and runs and divers very well. Just fitted a 2 1/2 exhaust system and full flow muffler and replumbed the turbo with steel pipes instead of… Read more

rubber has made a huge differance to the lower rev range starts to realy pull at about 1400rpm now

I fitted a finer mesh screen over the sump guard to protect the oil cooler before i went it came back with a few dents in it so i may have saved myself some big problems suggest anyone going bush do the same. Cheap great value for money. Good finnish 10.8km to the ltr around town.

You can fit real grownups in the back seat and they can still walk when they get out.

Merc power A bit light on for ground clearance in the front.

Not a lot of power at the bottom end of the rev range.

Oil cooler not well protected by the sump guard

Good – As good an all round working 4wd drive vehicle as I have ever driven. Great car to drive. You won't get better for the money, or a lot more money. Been driving 4WD since the seventies. Finally found one that does what I need. Very comfortable and easy to drive around town and on the highway. My wife finds it easier to drive than her Peugeot… Read more

206.

Tows a trailer well on and off road.

Can get to anywhere I'm likely to want to go and can get there easily.

Rear seating genuine adult size seats, hard to find in a 4wd ute.

All that for around $30K. Need to get used to the low end lack of power (but theres no shortage of power in low range for the 4wdriver)

Not great load carrying capacity for a ute.

Very poor ramp over angle if the sidesteps are fitted

Only minor mechanical issues so far (after 18 months) EGR gasket blew and took a while to get a new one.

Screw missing from door handle, again took a while to get a newey.

Had clock problems early on but after playing with all the buttons for a while it went away

Good – Great car,great economy,great to drive,i am soon to buy another one for my other business. First time ute, former Pajero driver, diesel power plenty and at 16000kms in few months and is improving all the time economy as well, the car is very stable in wet and wind,smooth drive very quiet,good in 4 wd.Comfortable drive on long drives leg room in… Read more

rear great,and good seating posi,tray is good for chuck it in the back stuff, minor set back is that in 4x4 drags 2 wheels on tight bends if used on road,sang yong offer no solution apart from to say that its normal. (my pajero didnt do this) does anyone elses 4x4 do it.Thats the only bad thing clock is ok no other dramas

Awesome purchase – Great multi-purpose ute - economical & spacious and I love this vehicle! Would buy one again anytime. May raise it for beach  Show details
