Review
I bought this car in Aug. 2005. It has been a very good car. It now has 66000 miles on it. I have replaced the water pump though. Also the car was pulling when I push the gas and go around corners; I researched it and found that the bushings behind the front tires needed to be replaced. Overall this car has been great; the re-sale value is horrible though because of the company going out of business. The car has proven to be reliable, gas mileage around 24-26 mpg. It has very good power and pick up compared to most 4 cylinders I have driven. I would recommend it to anyone

Bought new, and it's been good to us. We had a few minor issues: the timing belt snapped at 40k and thank goodness it was still under warranty. Other than that, only minor interior gripes: Overhead hand grip screw covers fell off, and the backlight went out on the environmental controls. Tires from stock were not the best. We are starting to develop a little corrosion on the aluminum roof rack, but after 6 years - not unexpected.

Bought this car new. After warranty
expired, had nothing but problems.
What went wrong early on: CD player,
air conditioning, ABS, heater cores
(had to be replaced twice!),
windshield wipers, alarm, head gasket.
Struts seemed to wear out quickly.
That's what I can remember off the top
of my head, apart from normal
maintenance! Spent thousands keeping
this piece of rubbish on the road.
That is, when we were able to get the
parts. Because it sometimes took days
for parts to arrive, we would have the
added expense of renting a car. In a
way, it didn't do too badly..finally
retired it 4 days ago after 154,000
miles (bought new Honda Civic - love
it so far!). DO NOT BUY THIS
CAR!!!!!!!

Bought the car used for $3000. Manual,
only had 29k miles on it at the time.
First week, needed new engine, water
pump, timing belt, etc. Since then,
needed few other parts, but for the
price I'm paying, I really can't
complain. You get a lot for your money.

I have the 5 spd tranny, avg 32mpg, I
have had it up to 45mpg travelling
cross country. Nice acceleration when
switching back to full cruise. Topped
out at 122mph (not that I ever did
this) can use a rear spoiler for
better control. Had to replace RT
lower contol arm, replaced timming
belt @ 50K since I live in Alaska.
Overall a good car IMHP.

I bought a showroom car w/about 7,500
miles. Day one, headlights would not
work, the entire wiring had to be
replaced. A few months later, battery
died, headlights stopped working,
inside lights stopped working, all
wiring problems. Fuel pump went after
only about 23,000 miles, most recently,
the timing belt broke and damaged the
entire casing. Now I have to wait 3 to
4 weeks for parts and repairs. Daewoo
refuses to pay towing or car rental.
They are hiding behind the Chapter 11
bankruptcy they filed. DON'T EVER BUY
A DAEWOO!!!!

This car is very reliable. 65000km so
far and noting wrong.
Stable on the road like very few cars
are.
The look of the car is one of the best.
Everything is in place and working well.
Very secure!
You need to learn how to drive it as it
has a character of its own.
Original tires aren't the best, good
tires make a big difference.
Fuel consumption is about 10% higher
than I would expect ei with air
conditioner on 100% I have 11/10/8 per
100 km running on natural gaz.
