Ssangyong Actyon: Poor Man's CX7?

**boydapa** · February 15th, 2008 05:18 PM

parang dinosaur ang mga pangalan ---its name is as strange as its looks

well, almost every new ssangyong has a catchy name....

rexton, actyon, kryon, medyo ok are korando and stavic.....musso--tolerable to hear din...

It's a damn sight better than the Europeans and some of the Japanese.

What's so unique about "323" (Mazda) or "323i" (BMW)?

Or a C200 versus an S2000?

An M3 versus a Mazda3?

An M45 (Infiniti) versus An M5 (BMW)?

A name is a car's persona... while an alphanumeric name can become iconic... (911)... most are rarely memorable.

Personally, I like "Actyon" and "Kyron"...

Cguro they spend more time improving their car rather than giving it a name that will sell.

i got the chance to see this at SM North EDSA.

I found it to have a mean looking exterior.

the interior isin't too bad, either

what i didn't like about it was the engine when i looked under the hood.

the cover (i'm not sure about the block itself) looked like it was poorly fabricated. may mga obvious excesses na hindi na file off and it didn't looked polished. tipong sasabit yung finger if you ran it over the engine.

baka nataunan ko lang... pero for a display unit?

other than that, i actually like it. i just wonder how it performs.

may promo sila... you can take it home for a 50k downpayment. saw the same promo sa e. rod ave branch nila. total is roughly 1M.

if what i remembered is right the price of Ssangyong cars are...

Actyon - 950k - 1.1m
Stavic - 1.3m - 1.5m
Kyron - 1.5m - 1.7m
Rexton - 1.7m - 2m(?)

we actually have a actyon :D

Na test drive ko na yung actyon na gas matic 2.3L

Pros:

competitive price
you don't see alot of this outside
mukhang galit na exterior (in a good way)
ok ang ride

cons:

takes a while to pick up speed, kulang sa hatak (compared to tucson)
interior plastics can be improved, as of now I don't like it
nvh needs improvement

All in all I think you are getting what you paid for naman.
Pero if I had more cash, I would get another SUV.

Parang tama nga but they have discounts. They even increase discounts sometimes.

I test drove this unit last month sa Macapagal.

CRDI matic ang na test ko, response time is reasonable malakas ang hatak. What I like the most is meron syang sun roof na sa CRDI pero sa Gas wala. Sabi ng salesman it like a car daw, pero sa wari ko since macapagal ko lang na drive di naman natitigasan ako sa ride nya. Then when I was trying to fold back yong mga side mirror eh automatic din pala iyon. Me switch sa loob na pede i fold back completely ang side mirror remotely

They classified it as SUC, Sport Utility Coupe. Mukhang Ford Focus sya na pinataas lang hehehe. For a CRDI 1.1M Plus sya pero kung i avail mo ang 88K all in down Payment nila it will become 1.2M ata.

Since type ni misis, nag test drive kami using th 2.0 CRDI sa Wheels E.Rod. Malakas ang hatak,engine noise is good, auto-aircon system, 6-speakers system, sunroof, remote side mirror folding at adjustable headlamp leveling and she liked the interior layout and the ride comfort. Infact, ilang beses din niya pinadaan sa humps without slowing down...hehehe 4 of us sa car. Then, nagpareserve na agad marine Blue color at 6-speed with tiptronic at may steering paddle switch pa for 1.218M

Para sa kin good choice ito instead of buying a car since mas mataas siya laban sa baha at unique daw at wala masyado kaparehas sa daan...hehehe
