1997 SsangYong Musso GSE (602EL) review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fog light switch doesn't latch... otherwise, extremely reliable and bomb proof.
General comments?
Mercedes engine is relatively quiet compared with a Discovery, and body roll is next to nothing for the type of vehicle. Huge load space and room for the kids, and the model has 7 seats fitted, which don't intrude too greatly into the load area. Excellent metallic blue black paint, that looks a different colour from varying angles.
Electronic 4wd is so easy for the wife to use when it gets stuck in the goo.
Overall it is built like a tank, and very comfortable on long trips, with a good spec in this form... ie air con, climate control, alloys, 7 seats, PAS, all round electrics.
Highly recommended, but will probably get a turbo with intercooler fitted when finances permit.
