Sorry to hear what happened to your bro's Actyon. I think sa parts that you've mentioned need replacement, maski anong car brand pa yan basta new model mahihirapan ka talaga makakuha ng replacement reason para di ka talaga mapapangiti

If it's just a small part pwede e air freight nila but pintuan and running board dahil bulky yan I'm afraid maghihintay ka talaga. Since dami na rin naman sila Actyon nabenta I'm sure magkaka stock na rin sila ng spare parts later. Actyon namin bihira lang gamitin since una wala pang plate plus may 2 cars pa naman kami pwede gamitin. It's a risk owning a new model pero talagang ganoon minsan if you want to be different from the rest eh at di ako nagsisi buying an Actyon. Di naman factory defect ang problema kung di accident. Kaya mga Actyon owner, I know na masarap drive ang Actyon at yong urge para humataw minsan dumadating sa ganda ng torque ng makina pero ingat na lang para trouble-free at accident-free pag enjoy natin driving our Actyon

well they should have atleast made body kits as well as spare parts ready,...my brother also owns a city but accident happens, and they were promised by ssangyong before getting the car that spare parts and body kits are readily available..
gagawin talaga lahat bumenta lang

I waited 3 months for body trim for my car.

Certain small cosmetic items and non-maintenance items are not stocked by dealers, because they are not scheduled for regular replacement.

It could be worse... back when I was looking around... such common parts as CV Joints for relatively common cars like the Nissan Cefiro had to be ordered from Japan... by the dealership, because they didn't think to stock them.

I agree with niky. Even Toyota ng kasagsagan ng D4D problems kailangan din ng mga affected units to wait for parts to repair the problems though madami na silang nabenta na units that time and their source is just from thailand while the Actyon parts will be coming from Korea. I just hope you will not wait for 3 months like niky did for his body trim to get the parts that your bro's Actyon need. Ingat na lang next time para di maabala.

na tripan ko design ng car na ito kaso sa harap lang talaga medyo sumablay. ok na sana yung laki ng harapan (hood hanggang sa ilalim) pati yung head lights acceptable na. kaso yung curves dun or yung mold or whatever it is sa hood, nahihirapan akong tanggapin. its like nagtatalo yung design dun sa harapan. magkaka face lift pa kaya yan? ok na yung likod, looks like a focus na hatchback pati gilid. malapit na siya sa bmw x6 para sakin hehe

Hmm ... Our Stavic consumes 11 kms/lit of diesel -- it's faster AND more frugal than our Starex. Kung di pa nakaka 1K PMS yan that could be the problem. Kung naka 1k PMS naman na, baka mas malaki tangke ng Starex. I suggest you get ACTUAL FC figures based on averages ng trip meter at full tank quantities refilled.

Ang ayaw ko lang sa Ssangyong ay ang buset na foot brake. Hanggang ngayon di siya magamit sa hanging kapag MT ang nakuha mo!

That's one thing I don't get on Korean trucks (the Carnival is the same)... the footbrake just takes extra space in the footwell, so there's no place to rest your feet.

As for the difficulty of driving uphill... time to learn how to heel-and-toe?

Actyon kasi handbrake pa rin gamit. Yong rexton at kyron kaya same din ng stavic ng footbrake ang gamit? 500+kms pa lang tinatakbo ng Actyon namin at ramdam pa rin medyo tight pa rin ang engine. Hindi kaya dahil sa palagi activated ang EBD nya? Feeling confident din ako sa lakas ng brake ng Actyon kasi ABS with EBD na siya.Yon nga lang first time ko drive ang Actyon e hirap ako to control ang braking kasi konting press lang ng brake pedal kapit agad ibang iba sa Sorento ko. Mag aadjust na naman ako sa braking habit pag Actyon ang dala ko

Hehe. Maybe I'll enroll my driver in a racing school. My car doesn't need heel and toe -- brake upgrade maybe.

I just bought my ACTYON last Tuesday, color RED. I took it from SSANGYONG Manila Bay branch. At first, i actually planned to buy the 2.3 gas version only kaya lang nung itest drive ko pareho yun 2.3 gas and 2.0 xvt diesel....nagbago ko ng isip, kinuha ko yung diesel version....ayun napamahal tuloy.

)....pero OKS lang very satisfied ako sa diesel version ...ang lakas ng hatak at ang bilis ...ramdam na ramdam ang sipa ng turbo...tsaka 6 speed A/T na transmission. Yun 2.3 gas version kasi hirap na hirap umakyat ng 120kph...under powered dahil sguro sa bigat ng body....initial review ko sa FC...matipid...nakaka 1/4 pa lang ako sa fuel reading mga 210km na tinatakbo ko....super traffic pa nung Tuesday kasi biglang buhos ulan at traffic ng ilabas ko sya sa kasa....more reviews to follow...
