 Ssangyong Korando - New 2011 Korando on sale - Auntie Lockbrakes
Anybody taken any interest in this new model? (Google it for pics). Looks pretty good to me - designed by Giugiaro. Anyone tempted (if mid-size 4WDs are your thing)? Maybe good competition for the increasingly pricey Hyundai & KIA alternatives?

Summary - Another contender in the rapidly expanding compact crossover sector. Rather good too.

We like - Gutsy engine, lots of passenger space, very quiet cruising
We don't like - Uninspired interior design, small boot, engine noise when idling and accelerating

Thats only a problem in the UK (Europe) with the crazy fuel taxes.

If you want free medical treatment from cradle to grave and lavish benefits for anyone who asks, it has to be paid for.

Having had another butchers at the Ssangyong (awful, awful name) I'd prefer the ix35 or Sportage.
