SSANGYONG RODIUS MPV REVIEW

My car

Do I like the Rodius? Well Yes I do. On the road I thought it drove very well for such a large car. Although it's said to be very slow I got it from 0-62 in just 10 seconds. I found It easy to drive but refinement wasn't very good. Tight corners were also an issue. My Rodius does around 30-35 miles to the gallon but recently It's been doing 40 miles! It costs for me around £150 per year for annual road tax. I've had my Rodius since 2006 and there has been no break-downs except when the oil pressure became very high. So it's very reliable. Inside it's very comfotable. Very comfy in fact. I did notice the dashboard felt a bit cheap. But who cares? For £15,000 you can't expect it to be a luxury limo. I like the Rodius (and it's looks)and I would totally recommend it to a family looking for a big car.

The Rodius is a good value for money car. There have been some issues with the car, mostly related to the high pressure fuel line on top of the engine, which failed on me twice, with high costs for repare. Also the paint and body work is not of the best quality. On the other hand, the car is superb when it coems to driving, especially for such a huge and heavy car in this segment. I am using the car to tow a caravan, of around 1500 Kilo's. The superb engine, combined with the automatee gear and the cruise control, makes this a perfect tow car. Down hill, up hill, straight roads, there is no difference. The huge towing power is a real joy. Seats are very good, we all are very tall in the family and after long journeys you do feel the comfort as a benefit, especially when comparing with sedan cars. Unfortunately the car is not the best when it coems to fuel consumption, but on the other hand, for the work done and the weight, again, it is more then acceptable. Towing: 14.1 Mpg Standard: 25.8 Mpg

After driving this car for over for years, with a total of 140.000 Kilometers so far, I am very impressed by the car. Never regretted driving it, apart from the two times it broke down on me with the fuel line.

all the negative comments I feel are not right for this car. It is a pleassure to drive. It delivers value for money. Spacey, good towing. And, people look at you when you pass them :)

We bought the stavic[rodius to you] in 2005,and must say it is absolutely brilliant.Even with six-footers sitting behind each other you still get tremoundous legroom. Also,i would'nt really worry about the safety as it recorded a better crash result compared to a 2008 bmw 5-series. You can check the result at www.car.go.kr anyway,hurtling the car along is perfectly fine,the car picks up speed nicely,overtaking is easier than yawning and the quality ia hard to beat. The fitments and plastics are still sturdy,and amazingly there are still no rattles or shakes,and I'm not joking. To love this car you need to believe in it then it will treat you with the thing you will love and cherish the most:OWNERSHIP. The fact is i dont think I'll ever sell it.Other car manufacterers seem bland and scared to make quirky cars that you love. Thats they're lose and Ssangyong's gain.

"I think that there are more MPV's that can be more pretty like the Toyota Verso, my relitives have one (I mean the Verso) and they are great so the Ssangyong does not do it for me.
