What's the old SsangYong seven-seater like?

Looking for some feedback on a 2008 SsangYong seven-seater: 1.9 diesel, automatic.

Thanks

Hi Darrell,

Generally speaking SsangYongs are very reliable (it's the upside of them being somewhat old-fashioned and mechanically simple), but the price you pay for that is them being really rather crude to drive and live with. Noise levels from the engine will be very high indeed, cabin quality will resemble that of a Toyota from the 1980s and the handling will be little short of terrible.
