Beware - no parts out there
We purchased this vehicle for an errand runner. Great value with lots of options. Gas mileage lower than hoped, but other than that, no problems. UNTIL... had a minor accident and are told there are NO PARTS available, except maybe from Korea. The insurance will not wait that long and is declaring it Totaled! Since these vehicles have such a low resale value, we are ending owing money on a car we no longer have. Lesson learned!
Love it
Had car for 5 years. Engine and tranny have never given any problems 100,000 miles still going strong. Only complaints are the ac goes in and out (Just a short i am sure) and the control arm bushings need replaced anywhere from 30k-80k. Payed $350 for driver side bushing and alignment. Replaced the passenger bushing myself in a weekend for $35. Part shipped fast from Daewoo. Easy fix for the do it yourselfer. The way the suspension is designed there is great stress on the bushings. They need replaced just like tires. But because of that design this car handles and rides very very nice. I am still amazed how nice it is when i drive it. Love the Daewoo!
Price was great - features even better
I put a lot of miles on my cars. It's power, mileage, handling and comfort is great Not knowing a lot about Daewoo I bought it because of the it's price with all of the features included. After driving it a month it has gotten even better. It's been an incredable little car. The quality for the price was very good.
Frustrated in NC
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!
Rented It For a Week
Rented this car for a week while my Ford Focus was in the shop from an accident. I took the Daewoo on a vacation to Colorado. The seats are very uncomfortable My back was killing me the whole trip. it's also cramped in there. The car had a cheap build quality that seemed to work for the most part. Cruise control didn't work well. A/C didn't work well. Recirculate didn't work at all. On the mountains, it accelerated fairly well. mileage was always great. Truck space was good & the fold down seats were fantastic. One note:the back seats popped out & I found out there is no cushioning in them. it's just hard foam & one spring.
