SsangYong Korando

Ssanyong Cars is now far removed from when it was an offshoot of a well respected heavy engineering company. The car division went bust and is now Chinese money and Mahindra, "expertise". Even the AA publicly parted company with them when the fleet of Mussos they had performed so badly. Come to think of it, the Musso and the Mahindra Jeep must tie as the most miserable, useless wastes of steel ever to have been sold in the UK.

all comes down to the individual. I personally wouldn't buy one, not heard bad reveiws, but not heard good either...I dont know anybody that has had or has one and rarely see one on the road.

What i do know is that they are cheap to buy, like Dacia's...may be good, may be bad. I wouldnt drive either, would spend the money on a used X5/X3 etc....not being a badge snob-but you get what you pay for.

I have a '14 plate Octavia 1.4TSI elegance turning up next Saturday -

I think you've probably made a wise choice. My mate has an Octavia, and it is an excellent car. Octavia was top of Which's Best Buy list for large cars this month.

Does the 1.4 engine have enough power to qualify as a 'load lugger'?
