2006 SsangYong Musso 290S Sport review from Singapore

Digital Clock not working (Wiring fault - in every Musso on the planet.. there is a fix on the internet)

Aircon is too cold... in Singapore!

This car was bought 1 year old - in storage with 200km on the clock. Bought for $55K (was $70K new) but of course no warranty.

Smooth automatic transmission.

Merecdes Diesel engine very powerful for such a truck.

Once you wind it up - it goes like an express!!

Car not big enough...

So fitted bigger illegal 265/70 R16 tyres on stock steel wheels.

Had to lift up from suspension 4 cm just to clear the tyres when on full lock.. the back also came up 2cm in the adjustment.

Children could not get in.. so fitted steps for $300.

Luggage got wet... so fitting $1800 rear hardtop.

My old Landrover defender was a bigger "bully car"

But this one is so much more refined - and new - and does not leak water.

OK - it is ugly - but fuel economical with low road tax for Singapore... and even tax deductible.

Seems to live up to the New Korean image of reliability...
