It would have better if the 3 rear seats were placed in the Middle, as it is if you fold down the rearmost seats for luggage then you only have a vehicle able to carry three passengers...not the best seating layout.

Don't the seats turn round so you have conference seating?

I'd have one without a shadow of a doubt. Look sharp though because I don't think their limitless warranty will last long, remember the Skoda debacle? They soon altered theirs when things were going wrong.

I don't think the Council will licence them 6 seats due to the lack of legroom when the seats are sinned round.

It's the Merc engine I think. I'm sure I read somewhere last year that they're using the Merc engine.

Taxi drivers:

Light commercial users, such as private hire or taxi drivers, are not penalised by our warranty. With SsangYong, you get the same limitless benefits as other owners.

So no matter how many miles you travel in five years, you're covered. And with a year's AA breakdown cover included too, what's stopping you?

Aaaaahhhhhh there lies the problem plus parts availability. What happens if you need an alternator, will they have to ship one over from Korea because the small dealerships round here don't carry the parts stock?

Like someone already said parts will be the big problem. I know someone with a Kia had to wait 4 weeks for parts to arrive not kept in stock in this country

I know someone who had a 406 Peugeot, he had to wait 4 weeks for a fuel pump to hit the UK.
