  Auto Nubira 2001 - Value! - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By trevorbarren - July 20 - 9:06 pm

  I bought the car second hand after it had been driven almost 100,000 KM (in 2013), the cars fun to drive, has all the power you need and doesnt eat much fuel at all. I havnt had any problems at all except that the rear right window wont open from the drivers door controls (but it still opens if you open it from the rear button itself). Also you tend to hear a buzzing sound sometimes coming from the plastic around the door handle due to vibrations sometimes, but I guess that comes with the territory. Also the engines a bit louder than average (no problems). Mechanically the car is still going healthy, gearbox still in great condition, and an all around good car - value for money.

  Stopping without reason - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By student - March 29 - 7:36 pm

  The car stops for no reason at unexpected times, even on the freeway. Why? Does anyone have a clue? I like the car, looks good, nice to drive, nice features. I bought it for a great price but its not dependable.

  Love it - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By The Nubira - January 25 - 5:14 pm

  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!

  Very Few Problems After 7 Years - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By fahonsey - August 4 - 2:26 pm

  I bought my 2001 Daewoo brand new off the lot and I still have it. I bought it because of the low price. There were a few recalls Ive had fixed and Ive had a sensor fixed on my automatic transmission because it wouldnt come out of park. They do have a problem with a weak front end when hitting potholes (You know how U.S. Highways are) and the controller arms had to be replaced. The dealer has great mechanics and they tell me what to look for in certain parts that might go out like the timing chain after about 60,000 miles. Regular maintenance like the manual has in it has kept the engine running perfectly. Its been a real bargain for me.

  Did what I needed. - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By shaung973 - July 29 - 2:42 pm

  Bought used (very used) as I needed a cheap and economical car. I was driving a V-8 LTD and facing long summer commutes. Drives and handles just fine. No power, but that was to be expected. It was well used and not too well maintained when I bought it, as the price I paid suggested. I have kept regular oil changes and tune ups. I did have to put in a new transmission - like I said badly maintained rather than bad product. It has no resale value so I plan to drive it until it falls apart, which is what I do with most my vehicles anyway. Has some vibration in the front end at high speeds, but all older cars do. Only downside is finding a mechanic who will work on it, parts are still reasonable

  Daewoo - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By jbwalterz - April 1 - 7:47 pm

  This has been a fairly decent car considering the problems with Daewoos bankruptcy. The first five years I owned it (bought new), I didnt have any major repairs other than the timing belt, which is routine maintence at certain times. However, after five years I started experiencing expensive repairs and now Daewoos arent worth much and hard to sell. My brakes have also experienced problems that about six repair shops cant figure out. They work, but not as well as other cars brakes do. I wouldnt suggest buying one of these cars to anyone. I feel like I was kind of suckered into getting a car I had never heard of previously. Lesson learned!

  01 Nubria wagon - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By prodject - February 19 - 10:54 pm

  The basic short summary is that its a very good overall car except it is in need of some extra power bad. Its had a couple of electrical problems, but is over all a very solid car. Comfy, great sound system. 27 mpg on the highway too.

  I Love My Nubira - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By Susan - April 4 - 8:56 pm

  Last year I purchased a used Daewoo Nubira 2000 SE with 72,000 miles on it. It has been a great car! The only negative thing Ive noticed is that the gas mileage is not as good as I expected. After having it over a year Im very happy with it!

  Very happy with it - 1999 Daewoo Nubira
  By Works good - June 20 - 12:46 am

  Bought new, and its 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.

  Not the worst car I ever bought - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By darryl daewoo - November 24 - 8:37 am

  Even though many people are down on these cars I have to say I have had little to know problems with this car. Of course finding parts and someone who knows the car hasnt been easy. The people at Daewoo have been very good about finding the right people to work on the car. So I have been lucky. I think the motor and transmission in the car are outstanding. Just a shame what GM did to all of us poor folks stuck with a Daewoo.
