2002 Daewoo Leganza SE 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
I very pleased with my Daewoo Leganza SE manual. It was with quite a bit of trepidation that I decided to go with a Daewoo considering the uncertain future of the company. But I was impressed with the pliant ride and minimal lean upon testing driving the car. The exterior finish on my silver Leganza simply sparkles. The interior is room and comfortable. The A/C chills! So far so good!
I thought it was perfect

I recently bought the Leganza with 11000 miles on it. I could not afford a new car and my options were limited on the used cars. I saw the Leganza and copmpared to the Cavalier or Focus Ithought it was great. I test drove it and it felt like a luxury car. I had to have it. At about 16000 miles that is when it started ticking, then at 19000 miles the transmission has locked up. The biggest problem now is that Daewoo will not stand behind the warranty and I have a lifter gone on my engine and a locked transmission. That is whay they have a built in shift lock release. Oh, and I got horrible ga mileage.

This is the best car I've ever had. A lot better than Accord or Camry in 4cyl.
Leganza rocks

2 of 4 people found this review helpful
This car has more features than an Accord. Same hp for the 4cyl. A bigger trunk. Same interior and exterior dimensions. Better styling. Same gas mileage. Better acceleration, and you don't have to pay a premium for the name. Say what you want about Korean cars, but don't forget where Honda and Nissan/Datsun were 15 years ago. I bought a base model a year and a half ago. I have 23,000 miles on it an I have never had a problem. I loved it so much I bought one for my wife. Obviously her's had every option, but with incentives it came to only 16,200.
I love my Leganza!

I really appreciate the styling and comfort with this vehicle. It may not have the most power, but it is fuel efficient, and comfortable to drive. Plus, it has a really sleek look, so I feel more comfortable parking next to my co-workers "nicer" cars.
EXTREMELY UNDER-RATED SEDAN *LOVE IT!

Love my Leganza. The unique euro styling catches plenty of attention, the gas mileage is fantastic (I choose driving it over my Rendezvous any day). Went through a minor accident and came out amazingly well. (The other car was totaled!) This car never should have been taken off the market, reliability is SUPERB. The only negative I've had with this car is the fact that when they stopped producing Daewoo in the U.S. my warranty disappeared into thin air. All in all, buy this car - it's a steal.
Best car ever

This was the best car I've ever owned, including Cadillacs, Saabs, etc. The CDX had leather, sunroof, nice sound, fun to drive, FAST, and many things I could figure how to fix myself and I'm not mechanical. I got from 28-32 mpg using premium fuel. Unfortunately, someone hit me and I totaled it. This car would have easily gotten me to 200k miles if some jerk on a cell phone hadn't been late for her flight and trying to hurry. I am now about to buy a 2000 CDX.

I have had this car for over 3 years and have nothing but VERY good remarks for it. I bought it as a left over on the lot from previous year. The car's engine is very powerful for the type of vehicle; I can pass almost ANYONE. There are also special features like the hold and power buttons on the transmission which come in handy for passing and merging using power and getting out of snow using the hold. It is great on gas mileage, it still holds between 32 -35 mpg. I have only had to fix normal things like brakes and oil changes. We use this as our family vehicle and have taken trips with it in the past. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone needing a good car at a GREAT price.
Very disappointing

Had a Leganza for a brief period of time. Not even close to a Toyota. You might as well just flush your money down the drain. I think this car appeals to people who simply want to say they have leather, a CD player, etc. regardless of the quality. Admittedly, less than 20K gets you a bunch of features, sadly they are poorly built.
only buy if you need a shootin car

bought it at 54000 mi and 1 mo. later sensor went. SO i give a tune up but this car just had it out for me ...I always kept up on oil changes , radiator flush transmission fluid change etc. but it didn't matter all in all about 3 sensors, a radiator, head gasket ($1100 just for that), not to mention the handles on the inside where a fake plastic chrome so they pealed n cut any one who touched them , the dash came apart from a few hot days melted the cheap glue.Every part was really expensive..Only ONE dealership would service it in the whole state of Wisconsin due to it being discontinued. oh yeah had to redo the whole break system except for the lines. trani went at 91000mi

I really like my car. I like it's styling (it can hold it's own among newer/more expensive cars), it is fun to drive (power button is cool), and it has been very reliable. The only major parts I've had to replace is an alternator and a timing belt.

I still enjoy driving this car--peppy, if a little slow to accelerate--but in the past year it's been in for major repairs (price wise) roughly every 6 weeks, and parts have to be ordered from GM and shipped from SOUTH KOREA. Problems started at roughly 80k, am at 93k now and they just keep getting bigger and harder to get parts for.
zero problems

Maybe the Lezanza is not the most exciting car but for me it has been extremely reliable. After 18 months and 26,000 miles the only problem I have occured when I left the antennae up while going thru a car wash. I would like more power but overall this is a good car and a good value.
This one slipped under the radar

I have had my Leganza for over three years and I absolutely love this car. It has great styling, really nice features, and it is a pleasure to drive. I think that this car should have done much better in the US than it did. GM has rebadged them as Suzukis. I would probably replace my Leganza with a comparable Suzuki (Daewoo). Well equipped car, at a really nice price.

Bought this car after the company went bankrupt!..So I am not jaded by the severe price depreciation! This is without a doubt the best value I ever purchased, and since I plan on holding on to it for a few years, I don't have to worry about the resale value!
It sure Fooled me!

The Leganza was just another car to check off my list of cars to look at before I would buy my 4th Toyota Camry. But the great styling me stop and take a good look at this nice little car! Then I drove it and wow the smooth ride and great handling made me think I was in a car worth thousands more! This car just felt good. Then I realized something, I was excited about this car and I have not been excited about a Camry for years! I bought it! I made the best decision!
Excelent Performance and Appearence

Purchased a Daewoo Leganza CDX because the dealer was giving away a free Daewoo if you bought one. I was the real deal and we got a nice low mileage 1999 Daewoo Lebera 2 door sedan free. Both are still running well in 2008 since purchase in 2002.
one of THE BEST

I think that this car is a very good car. With the comfort that I feel when I'm driving it and the easy manuvering is a really good quality. And not only does it feel good, drive good, but also looks really good. I have a 2000 Daewoo Laganza SE, Silver. The paint just shines and looks like something 007:James Bond might drive.
What a deal :)

I was able to get a BRAND NEW 2002 Leganza CDX with every single option available for $10,000 because of the problems the Daewoo company has been facing. It is a GREAT car. I LOVE IT!! I am a bit concerned about the availability of parts and service. So far all I have needed to order was a new rear view mirror (x boyfriend broke) and I got it within a week. A great deal for me. Would not have paid the sticker price of $22,000.00 but love it for only $10,000.00
Great car for great price

I purchased for $4500.00 with 24 miles on it. Great deal and it came with all the options except leather and sunroof. I originally purchased to drive while I rebuilt my truck and was suprised at the features and ride comfort for a inexpensive ride for the money (even if it was at MSRP would be a good value in the class it was selling in) I have no problem getting parts or warranty work (headlight moisture) completed in a timely manner. Good bang for the buck!!
Awesome Car

I really like this car. Got it used from a dealer and it only had 11000 miles on it. Great value.
Things started out good.

I bought this car a couple of years ago with 70k, now we are at 111k and the car's engine TICKS like crazy! We have always done preventive maintenance (oil changes,timing belt, etc.) and the car keeps having issues. The air conditioning also went out (was perfectly ice cold for the first year I had it). My husband does like the power button, but I never use it. I wouldn't buy another Leganza.

I can't believe anyone would rate this car low. They obviously have never really owned the vehicle and want to smear it's name. My father-in-law was talking trash about this car before I bought it. When I did buy it and showed him, it knocked his socks off. He has a Honda Accord which couldn't hold a candle to it! I compared it feature to feature and the Leganza kicked his Honda's but! (He has the top of the line Accord). How can he compete with the Lotus suspension and the Italian styling? He can't!

Very little problems with the car so far. Driving with Chicago traffic an hour long and more time at the wheel. Getting tired is not a problem. Good fuel milage is also a benifit.
I love it

When I bought my Leganza it had 18000 miles on it I didn't know much about the car buying industry, so my father went with me. We test drove it and I knew I had to have it I had test drove hondas, ford, etc. My father said it seemed like a good car. About 7months later I was in an accident and found out that Daewoo went bankrupt, it was hard to find the parts for my car but i say 3-4 months after the accident we found genuwine brand new parts for my car. Also finding out that GM had bought Daewoo out so that meant new Daewoos, has not been made public yet, but you can believe that as soon as they come out with another model I will be getting a new one.

Thsi is the first small mid-size car for me in over 20 years. I am really impressed with the amount of power coming from a 4 cylender, The ride could be a little smoother and the steering could be tighter but it is really good for an inexpensive car.

Pleased with car ,but not with company going out of business after we bought it. Only have 18000 miles on itand needed rotors,brake pads.I intend on researching car maker before buying another car.The car rides nice and has good pickup for a fourbanger.Somtimes there is a delay in shifting gears.

I got lucky and got my car in 2006 for 4,000. NOTHING was maintained on it and I only JUST have had to start doing the typical, tie rod replacements break pads and so on and so fourth. Of course I would love to own a brand new car but my car is still amazing. Anyone who says Daewoo's are horrible cars that will leave you on the side of the road are WRONG! My boyfriend has a scion and I laugh when I watch how many times he fills up in a week going the same distance as I do, actually less my job requires me to travel alot and I never have to worry about it failing! I hope you reconsider and choose it don't listen to the other people who say they hate it they just didn't appreciate it
Great Car for the Money!

Although many people are reluctant to purchase a Korean car, this car is worth the risk! It's features are second only to Lexus. My father-in-law purchased a Honda Accord just before I purchased the Leganza. He warned me to not purchase the car. When I did buy it and showed him, he felt very depressed! He paid $5,000 more for his car and it didn't even have leather! His wife rubbed it in for several days... With styling from the Italians and handling created by LOTUS, what more can you ask for?
