Ssangyong Rodius MPV 270 ES 5dr

My car

Had the 2.7ES for nearly 12 months now, before that had the Chrysler Voyager. I and the 5 boys do not find the drive hard as described in the review by What Car?, in fact its very smooth. However it is nosier a ride than I would like but its half the price and inside twice the room.

If driven at a steady 70mph on the motorway it gives a very good return on the diesel, I went all the way from Worcester to Brixham last week on just over a quarter of a tank of diesel. It also handles like a car half its size and the Mercedes 2.7l Diesel engine has some serious umph for over taking fully loaded.

Equipment cant be faulted for the price however a Cruise option on the manual gearbox should have been included.

Overall for the money a very good car if a bit ugly.

My car

I drove this car with two adults and 5 children aged between 9 months and 15 years old from Surrey to Devon for a two week holiday. The car easily took all of our luggage, including all of the equipment required for the baby.

I was very surprised at the efficiency of the engine even carrying all of the passengers and luggage.

When we arrived in Devon it was great to be able to transport all of the kids in one vehicle and not have to use two as we had originally planned.
