I am in the market for a near new [2005 - 2009] SUV. While searching, I am across a Korean car company, named SSangYong. It seems not to be a major brand in the DR, but they are available. My questions:
* After 12 years in the DR, I don't know anyone who owns or has owned a SsangYong. Can anybody help me? If you have owned a SsangYong SUV, preferably a diesel, for 3 - 5 - 7 years, can you share with me your experiences. Cost of fuel & maintenance? Availability of parts? Over all satisfaction? Performance? Compared to X, Y, &/or Z brand SUVs?
* I'm looking for an SUV with a diesel engine; they seem plentiful. Your experiences with ? brand & model? Positive? Negative? Would you buy ? again? Why not?
* I'm looking for my SUV with a manual [mechanico] transmission;l in this country, as opposed to Europe, this is like searching for Dominican dinosaur eggs! Frustrating! Suggestions?
Thank you for your time & patience.
* Robert: food for thought: is it worth setting up a separate poasting board for 'cars, trucks, & SUVs'? Enough interest? Food for thought. Thank you
