Hello from South Africa. We have a Ssangyong Rexton 2 and it is the BEST car we've ever owned. Very reliable and really good value for money. It has ALL the bells and whistles - more than you get in any other SUV in it's category(like Kia or Hyundai). It ranks up there with the likes of MERC and BMW SUV's. Really comfortable, tows very well and with 4x4 low range is a dream off road. We've even taken 7 people in it and gone up Sani Pass! I love it and will buy another one in a heart beat.

It is an excellent car, have owned two previous Ssangyongs and very reliable cars. I think people who critisize it are snobs and have actually never driven one. I have owned Mercedes and other European cars and the Rexton has a similar feel. Most engine parts are European . Very happy with it, only drawback is the lack or poor marketing to improve the branding.
