We drove a Rexton and a Terracan a couple of weekends ago.
We were quite impressed with both, but liked the Rexton a lot more. Much comfier, roomier, and quite quick off the mark. Underbody protection is good, with steel plates everywhere.
When it comes time to trade up, I think the Terracan will get a good look in. Not as comfortable as the Rexton, but still quite nice, and there are some aftermarket accessories. We got a spec for 2"
suspension lift, 2" Body Lift, Winch mountable bull bar, rear wheel carrier, long range tank, diff lock, and a couple of other little bits and pieces. The dealer rekoned he could get 235/85 wheels on, but I dunno....
Still, we still got a good deal of change from $46000, and that was before the negotiations really started..
Two problems we found with the Rexton were the lack of aftermarket gear (ie.. nothing), and the dealers themselves. The Parramatta dealer refused to take us for a
test drive unless we had made a booking! So we looked at the car for 15 minutes or so, and watched him sit on his bum the whole time, then we tried to get a
test drive again. Basically told us to bugger off! So we did, to the dealer 10 minutes down the road at Strathfield....... This guy was a bit better, but not real helpful.
Lol - they are Ssanyongs, fer christ sake, not bloody porsches!
Cheers,
Chump
