2006 SsangYong Actyon review from Chile
"Almost a very good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Differential noise when engaging a gear, later fix under warranty at 10,000 km.
Driver's door not opening, some plastic parts broken, fixed myself because the dealer made me wait a week for an appointment.
General comments?
I am very pleased with the car, looks ugly I know, but I got it because of the size/efficiency factor.
In Chile the diesel price was 2/3 of the gas price, but now it's not, so it's not practical anymore to have a diesel car.
I am getting avg. 9.5 km/l (not so good).
It has room in the cabin, but it has too small a trunk (cargo area), even with the folded rear seats.
A/C needs some power; on summer days it needs a long time to get cool inside.
The engine is OK, but the AT gear box (4 speed) needs improvement.
One of the fine point of the car is its quietness.
