Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Honestly the car is amazing £10,000 cheaper than rivals but what lets this car down is the dealerships they are only interested in your money once the sale is done that’s it we have had several problems since car was new firstly on pickup the paint was damaged told dealerships straight away for a new bumper and trim waited 11 months and trim still damaged but paint is a mess after they touches up with pen not what was agreed ( wrong colour grey used where car is cream ) not happy to say at least secondly car engine management light on 20+ Times can’t find fault then said it’s dpf filter so they replaced but on driving car pulling out from junction car dies to 800 revs and non responsive on acceleration, Thirdly in-car entertainment not connecting with usb and whole system crashes dealerships won’t fix problem as the say it’s apple problem but apple cant find fault The dealerships in question is SERE on Boucher road stay well clear they are useless eg 1st cars service car left in I asked what did u do they said oil, fluids usual 12,500 miles service but on inspection the fluids wasn’t checked as window fluids were empty, other fluids very low as was the oil level which was below the low level so car had to go back in and it was done this time but no apology or sorry to be heard.

How reliable do you find the car?

Engine management light on 20+ times since new, problems not fixed dpf filter replace but still ongoing also problem with usb radio connection to iphone where system shuts down when connected dealer not fixing problem, dealer not fixing problem with car paint that was damaged before collection and took 11 month for touch up pen which was awful and totally stands out but not solution that was agreed, ssangyong said nothing todo with them dealerships problem, car is a very good car but if dealerships are like sere from Belfast god help ssangyong as they won’t sell many
