I hope they've improved since the days of the Musso. Lots of car for your money, but when the car you get a lot of is a Ssangyong Musso, you quickly wish you had less of it. Godawful things for the deliberately and obtusely contrarian.

I'm a big SsangYong fan. I cannot sing their praises highly enough. I have 1 x Rexton and 4 x Tivoli's (ranging between 2015 and 2023) within my business and they perform faultlessly. Never had a problem with reliability despite the high mileages that they do.

As and when they come up for renewal I'm automatically changing them with like for like. Never known a problem with our garage sourcing parts on the very rare occasions they have been needed.

Never had a Korando (so no direct experience of that model) but I cannot see them being any different. Bang-for-Buck I would struggle to beat them.

I currently own a Forester XT that I dont need anymore. Bought for its power for towing a heavy trailer delivering wood...around 2 - 1 1/2 tons. It pulled that easy. But looking to replace with a "cheaper" SUV that can pull maybe 1250-1500 kg occasionally. Just thought a car like the Korando gave quite a bang fer yer buck! Maybe a Kuga.....The Subaru is a 2013 and from what I have seen, seconf hand car prices are going strong, so thought sell t and buy something for around the £7/8k mark.......Thought about the Mitsubishi PHEV as well, as I have solar at home

I drove a Tivoli once. The only nice thing I can say about it is that you can change gear without taking your elbow off the centre armrest.
