    Good Points: Seats are very comfortable, far more so than the 3 Isuzu Troopers (Insignias) we had previously bought new. More streamlined than a Trooper in a head wind when towing. Turning circle is excellent.
    Rexton 2 steering is more positive and heavier than Rexton 1.


    Bad Points: Both sets of keys dropped to pieces in 18 months only driven 6,000miles, keys were not abused and hung up or in jacket pocket, both sets replaced under warranty in March . Badges on bonnet and wheels looking tatty are also going to be replaced under warranty. Alarm system totally different to Rexton one and has really caused problems when trying to leave dogs in vehicle with sunroof open, has been sorted this week. the dealerships were not much help as they thought it worked in the same manner as Rexton 1, and supplied Rexton 1 literature when purchased.


    General comments: This is our second Ssangyong Rexton, the first Rexton purchased Sept 2004 the 'new' manual 270 SE, 29 mpg towing our twin axle caravan(1750kgs) to Scotland, my Husband thought he bought a different vehicle to the Rexton that was reviewed that month and 'slated' so badly by the Caravan Club Tow Car of the Year. Then after I had broken my left ankle he changed it for a 2007 Rexton automatic 2. this tows the caravan equally as well.
    Can't see the point of a vehicle in permanent four wheel drive so we have always opted for the part time version.

    Message from Holland: own a chip-tuned Rexton for 1,5 years, no big problems. Tow a horst-trailer, cruise the autobahn, vacation in mountains. The Mercedes-designed engine is reliable. Follow instructions on oil-change for engine and automatic gearbox. And wait for the engine and turbo to warm up (about 10 min/10 km) before rev it up. Story from the guy who blew his Rexton twice seems strange to me, especially because he does not tell us the causes of the blow-ups.

    We purchased two Ssangyong Rexton II SX in April 2006 - each engine in both cars has blown up - each vehicle has been serviced every six months at an average cost of £450 - The first car was fixed within warranty by NMG motors Norfolk, but was off the road for six weeks whilst waiting for spare parts - NMG and SSangyoung did not provide a loan vehicle so we hire a vehicle which cost us over £1500. The second vehicles engine has now blown up and SSyangyoung and NMG refuse to fix it l ...
