@@thepikeangler2022 So far I'm liking it well enough, and no problems to date. Mine's a 2018 model. It's a bit of a mixed bag but some of the things I don't like are moreso because of the type of driving I do. Positives: Love the interior which is what drew me to it in the first place. Comfortable, lots of extras for your money e.g. reversing camera and heated seats. Great for motorway driving and gets 50+mpg there (but unfortunately I don't do a huge amount of motorway driving!). Spacious boot. Handles nicely. Negatives: I do a lot of driving on hilly rural roads mixed with driving into the city for work. It's bigger than I personally need as a single person, and barely scrapes 40mpg average with all the stop start hill driving I have to do, though that's not horrendous (my last car was a 4x4 Panda so fared much better!). The gears annoy me a bit - say you're doing 30mph 3rd is too low but 4th makes it unhappy unless going downhill. Cruising along in a 50mph zone it can't decide if it wants to be in 4th or 5th, my Panda happily jumped to 5th from 45mph upwards. I stalled it a few times when I first got it as it likes to stay in 1st gear longer than most Diesel cars and vans I've driven 😂 I intend to keep it for a couple of years then will decide whether to get something a bit smaller again. Would I personally get another Tivoli? Probably not as it's not perfectly suited to my driving/solo needs. Would I get another Ssangyong if they did a smaller 4x4? So far, yes, but time will tell on reliability!
