HI Paul,

I am thinking of getting the new Ssangyong Kyron. I am ashamed to say that I am one of the men who only know how to drive a car but knowing nothing else abt it. I mean, when I take my car for servicing, the mechanic says a lot of mumbo-jumbo and I nod my head knowingly while thinking what the hell is he saying.

My question is, is Kyron a good/satisfactory SUV to have? I have been reading conflicting reviews abt it from others and wonder if its a good car to have.

THanks

wayyyyyyy boring-er than the previous one. I liked the previous one. not because it looked nicer to me (not that this one looked bad thou) it’s just that i always reckon SsangYong to be a manufacturer with exquisite taste when it comes to their designs – Love it or hate it, they never leave themselves in greay areas….

Ugly is always better than bland.

Prem3377, u father is very good in taste.. My neighbor also get a kyron! Nice man! Yes, i also have this question in my head. Why their quality so good, but still selling in a very cheap price when after tax? While our local cars, Ehmm.. sell us at a relative high price, but give us low quality products..

overall, look better than the previous model. About the buldge at the back, i guess they still retain it as they do not want the car look predictable like other cars. This is what we call the identity. Not everyone look the same and so do cars, right?

Just my 2cents

i have no idea why the automakers are like tat… good quality built up but bad design… some good design but bad quality built up… or some are both good in quality and design but damn expensive… or even the worse, both poor quality built up and ridiculous design although the price is affordable… so far i still havent found a vehicle with ugly design, lousyt quality and cost a super rocket price yet…

This one looks better. The dashboard seems like it is ‘melted’ under the sun.

looks very much better than the earlier version!

but just why didn’t the designer remove that “bulge” or “creasing arch” between the rear windscreen and taillight…. or just simply minimised it…

Well is the engine still a 2.0L CDI diesel engine used by Merz? or petrol version? Well look nice is the back.. i think this will be a big hit if price good! Anywayz i heard a Exco tell me that next year if BN win the election, the AFTA or NAP issue will be fix.. Means open market by next year! Yahoo! He also told me he gonna get a BMW X5 next year..

The front headlights reminds me of the new S-class.

Agree that the facelift looks much better.
