I'm looking into getting a 2.2 diesel to tow my horse box occasionally but I don't know anything about these cars - would it be any good?

Lets start with the good points:
Errm - Its got a Peugeot engine, of sorts.
Bad ones:
Poor build quality (some don't even have paint primer)
High depreciation.
Slowest accelerating car on the road.
Shockingly bad road handling.
Brakes? What brakes.
Steering? What steering?
Please don't be fooled by "poor build quality", It truly is appallingly bad.

The Asia Rocsta is a car that looks like a Jeep (ie:- fairly funky) but that's where the good news ends. They are noisy, dangerously slow, completely unresponsive (steering, brakes and accellaration), and virtually unsellable once you have one. Another answerer correctly stated that they have atrocious reliablity problems and no ant-rust protection. This would be financial suicide for you, you'd hate it, you might be killed in it (or by it) and you'd regret the decision within days, if not hours. You'd be better off with a Kia Sportage, a Suzuki Vitara or even a late model Lada Niva, if you can find one.

Yes, I've heard of it.
No, it isn't very good.
Asia Motors was a subsidiary of Kia Motors.
The Rocsta was derived from a military vehicle - probably quite capable off-road, but not very comfortable, refined or pleasant to drive on road.

A fairly agricultural 4x4, reputed to need a solid wall to stop. Very few sold in UK and dealer support rare. I think Clarkson might put them with a caravan on the cool wall!
