2001 SsangYong Musso TD review from Honduras
"A Beautiful Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The major problem is the manual transmission, it cracks in reverse and is sometimes pretty hard. I hate this.
The clutch also gets stuck if you get the revs too high.
I have ran out of gas twice because the gas light has stopped working properly.
The engine sounds like a dump truck.
General comments?
This car is magnificent! Except for the minor defects I listed above. If you take care of it and add a few extra accessories you get a very, very good 4X4, in this case it's automatic, which is excellent.
The car has never given me any engine problems, not one. The stereo system is pretty good. It's a very comfortable car (except for the engine noise, it's annoying, I would prefer gas engine). Well, I guess that's about it. I love my car.
Oh, it's pretty fast too, specially for a diesel engine!
