Alright mate personal experience regarding Ssang Yong,
Here's a list of the Pro's n Con's
1. Its a comfortable vehicle
2. Powerful because a VGT turbo powers it up real good.
3. Handling is real crap because of the improper vehile weight balance
4. If your looking at a 6 speed, well its powerful "BUT" it has a factory defective gear box. Puerly bad desin of shims on input shaft. Agents fix it FOC if its under warranty and only charge for the oil.
5. Check light indicates on it like a real bitch. Reasons,
6. Throttle and EGR systems are opperated by vaccum modulators. These pack off once in about 3-4 months. Mind you each one will cost you around 8,000 bucks. 4WD solonoids, if blocked still check light comes on.
7. These modulators last depending on the way you drive the vehicle. If you don't kick down or you drive like an old man, well it packs off. If you do the opposite wel it wil still pack off. So puerly bad desin there as well.
8. The 5 speed is good no promblems with the gearbox.
9. Front 4WD hubs. Vaccum opperated, gets stuck at times, each one will cost over 50K. If the vehicle is under warranty your lucky.
10. This has all the comfort functions, which is really good.
11. Air- conditioning system is fantastic.
12. Services should be done on time and its not costly even tho some customers bitch about and compare other brands.
13. Fan clutch, oh this mother burns off yearly. Vehicle will over race, fuel comsumption high and low pulling power will cost you about 25K.
14. Glow plugs, darn it, these things snap on the cylinder head when removal + replacement.
15. Injectors, famous for compression leaks through it seals.
16. Idler pulleys, chain tensioners, belt tensioners really sucks, if a lil water gets on to these things you are looking good repair/amount.
The Rexton is a fantastic jeep!!! I just love it!!! Now that i reccomend...
I think i better stop now, ... And i think i might get in a little bit of trouble. But if there's anything let me know cz i know those vehicles inside out.
cheers..
