What a joke!

I have NO IDEA why I bought this car. I went from a 1988 Honda Accord which NEVER gave me trouble to this piece of junk which I have done nothing but sink money into. I now have to replace the tires which will hopefully stop the shaking ... but who knows! I found out recently that this was a rental car from Florida -- are you kidding? I hate it. I want it gone. Period.

When I first bought this car I was really high on it! Now,after having this car for three years I dislike it with extreme hatred. About two &1/2 mos. ago I had the timing belt to break on me which caused me a great deal of discomfort. In the last three weeks I've developed a problem with the Ingnition Coil. In fact I just returned home after having it towed for the 5th time. The car is going to have to be removed from my ownership as soon as I can make arrangments. I wouldn't reccommend this vehicle to no one, not even my worst enemy!

Purchased this vehicle 5 months ago and so far I have replaced a timing belt a set of heads (for when the belt blew only 5 days after purchase) . It took almost 2 months to get the parts and I now have power windows that decided to quit on a recent road trip . The car accelerates good but there is definant issues with reliabitlty and does anyone know where to get a troubleshooting guide to get the windows fixed? No one knows how to work on them!

I bought this about 2 years ago as my first car. At first I was in love, but now I have to resist the urge to take a bat to it! I had to change the front tires twice and replace the control arms in the first year (which ended up costing half of what I paid for the darn thing). Now I need to replace belts and tie rods, and my windows and rear defrost only work when I have the driver's side door wide open. Oh, and the air conditioning went out a couple months after I bought it. I'm crossing my fingers that someone will rear end me and total this piece of junk!

I have never had a problem with my Nubira. It's fun to drive and gets GREAT mileage. I have used it for multiple cross-country trips as well as city driving with no complaints. I'm definitely a Daewoo shopper from now on!
