Not really , oh has his heart set on a Rodius....but I have to say that the new car tax seems a bit extortionate !!! Although if all big cars are going to be the same then it won't make any diff!!

I suppose they are quite good cars - as long as you only go out in the dark.
I admit that they are not to everyones taste but we like the "ugly" cars!!
We've had a renault "shake your ass" megane , a Ssangyong Korando and now want a Rodius...our budget won't stretch to a full merc....and not sure i'd want it to (most by us are driven on the school run by women who "can't drive backwards!!" )
We like something a bit different ...but draw the line at a Fiat Multipla!!!!
I suppose that if someone did a hearse conversion of a Rexton, I might be seen dead in it.
A Fiat Multipla is ugly because of the job it's designed to do, and the way it does it - very well, I might add. Rodiuses (or is it Rodii?) and Rextons are ugly because the designers do not know how to make a car look like it wasn't conceived by a short-sighted seven year-old.

Well i have a rexton and had a musso before that,.
Had the musso 4 years no problems at all and my rexton i had from new in 2005 had no problems has same engine as rodious and a very good tow car just did 11,000 miles on holiday with caravan ., only thing rodious dose look like a herse but very well eqiped go for it you wont regret it.

Beauty is in the eye's of the beholder , every one is an individual ,it would be a sad day if everybody thought alike , yes german engineering is very good , thats why a lot of car manufacturers use there engines , i worked Germany for over 3 years , we could take leaf out there book building our houses
OH would like a rexton, There is a SSangyong garage not far from Mother inlaws house house and we alwaqys have a look.
I would say buy a used one as they do de-value quickly and if you buy a brand new one woudl just be a waste.
Personally I think the rodius is ugly, however for space and practicality I would have one if we needed the space for luggage and dogs aswell as having 7 seats as they are huge.
Watch that road tax tho,
Good luck with your search
------------- Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
was talking to a guy who had a rodius when we went to sherwood forest this year, he had a Kia Sedona before that and to be fair the rodius is a big car, but he did say it is not as stable towing than the Sedona but easily more effortless power wise
