    Advantages Advantages very confortable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages parts expencive

    Hi! The ssangyong musso is manufactured by the south Korean automobile manufacturer ( SSANG YONG MOTOR COMPANY ). It was first produced in 1993 with Mercedes petrol or diesel engine. We bought a 1996 2.9 diesel ssangyong musso about six months ago of my husband cousin. The car had the six months test and he assume us that there is not much wrong with the car. He just wont it to sell it or crush it because he was needed spaces for the new car. When we bought the car we have been told that there is diesel lick from the tank and breaks are sticking but my husband got his knowledge about cars and ... more

    5 Stars Why you should buy a Ssanyong Musso 10/09/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Massive towing capacity, V Good economy, quiet, comfortable and spacious

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Spare parts can be hard to find locally

    OK, so it's a bit big, but it's quiet, smooth, corners better than many a normal car and has the very impressive 2.9 Merc diesel to make it all move. I get 39 MPG even living in the Peak District of Derbyshire and even towing my 1 ton caravan I still get 29 MPG. Despite many an attempt I've still not managed to get it stuck anywhere in either mud or snow. If you are really serious it has a low box and diff locks too, but I've never needed them yet. You can go into or out of 4 wheel drive at any speed up to 50 MPH without declutching and rather than wrestle with a second gear shift lever it's ... more

    3 Stars Ssangyong Musso 09/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Mercedes engines, bold styling

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Limited servicing support

    Price used £3820-£7420 Value Lots of room for the money; more refined than most mid-market 4x4 models. Costs Diesels fuel-efficient but petrol models quite thirsty; parts and servicing dear. Reliability Mercedes engines hugely dependable if looked after; build quality not the best. Driving Switchable 4WD; direct steering, safe car-like handling; diesels ride fairly smoothly, but petrol cars are choppier. Performance GX220 is fastest in class; 2.3 is lively; old 2.9D is seriously underpowered; latest turbo-diesel is much better. Comfort Roomy with enormous load capacity but no load cover; trim ... more

    4 Stars 1995 Ssangyong Musso 2.9 D 4x4 SE 16/01/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Space, durability, comfort. Bullet proof engine/box(Mercedes)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Brand name, parts expensive/hard to get

    I recently bought this 4x4 of a friends next door, 60,000 miles she had bought it from new. Perfect for moving kids and shopping about, lot of space, very comfortable, great heater etc. The diesel engine (non-turbo) is very slugish and slow to get going, but the vehicle isn't intended for race tracks, very able off road. All in all, i'm happy with my perchase and whole heartly recommend to anyone, only downside I can think is the diesel is slow to get going (if this is a problem for you) but take a test drive, if your happy with the drive, i'll guarentee everything else is spot on for the ... more

    3 Stars DONT BUY Musso 602 Good Vehicle HORRIBLE AGENTS 03/05/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Excelent in very poor road conditions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Availability of agents - spares

    The Musso I have is a 602 1998 model. I have had it for 135,000 km. The vehicle it self is excellent. The gearbox and gear change is horrible. The dealer from whom I bought it refurbished the gearbox. 70000 km latter the same problem reoccurred when main drive packed up again a caused major damaged to the rest of the box. R18000 later it was back in service. The cost was pushed up by very high spare prices from local Musso dealer. Any spares are very expensive always double the price of any competitive 4x4. I always said Toyota was expensive. The Musso Viscose fan clutch cost double the price ... more
