Ssangyong Actyon: Poor Man's CX7?

**mfo** · October 31st, 2008 12:36 AM

Hi, we were at gateway mall when there was a showroom of korean cars, there was a Swift, Stavic, Actyon and an Apv, of all the cars displayed, the swift and the actyon caught my attention. To be honest maganda itsura nito, and I got to talk to the SA there and asked a bunch of questions.

Sabi niya most of the Ssangyongs really are weird looking but this one is kinda different. Actually I kinda like this actyon, may dating siya, I saw one in blue, opened the doors wow parang di ssyangyong and the look from the back is parang inumpog pero ganda ng kinalabasan haha.

It has a mercedes engine, 2.3 i think. Pero wala ung engine cover so pangit pala pag wala, sabi niya meron cover yun, so ayun, then told me na gumaganda raw sales ng mga korean cars dito sa pinas, which is true I think, I see a lot of them. Though reliability is unknown, I'd still consider one as an option against its rivals.

The Swift and APV are Japanese. (Suzuki).

Travelled via ro-ro to antique ng katapusan. Dapat Actyon ang dadalhin namin ng family ko kaya lng wala pa rin yong plate kaya decided to bring the Sorento na lang.Should have been a good opportunity to test the hidden potential ng Actyon kasi pwede humataw kasi wide ang daan at may mga rough roads din na dadaanan sa mindoro. Hope before sa december okay na plate at ng ma byahe din Actyon. Sa Iloilo kami ng wife ko kahapon at may nakita na rin kami na Actyon don same color pa ng Actyon namin

Ang bilis...hehehe

Iloilo wala pang Ssangyong dealer but sa Davao and Cebu meron na at Zamboanga will be opening soon I was told. I think that Actyon na nakita ko sa Iloilo last Nov 4 is not just a shipment. We were having dinner sa isang resto sa Sarabia Hotel nang makita ko nag park infront ng hotel reception naka hazard light waiting for the owner. Prior to that may nakasalubong ako sa SM area sa city proper.
BTW, try ko gamitin kanina ang steering gear shift controls at mabilis naman ang shifting ng trans though hanggang 4th gear lang na reach ko out of 6 gears.Ma maximize ko rin yan pag may plate na at pwede ng takbo sa highway..hehehe. I find the steering gear shift controls location very convinient. I'm very happy with the performance of the Actyon. Napapangiti na lang ako the way people look sa Actyon every time papasok ako ng carwash which is full of very common car brands
