  What a joke! - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By Nicole D. - February 21 - 12:02 am

  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.

  Whatever you do, DONT buy a Daewoo! - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By weezerific - February 12 - 12:00 am

  This car is an absolute nightmare! It is good looking and was very cheap. Other than that, there is absolutely NO redeeming qualities about this car. A month after I bought it, it had to be fixed 7 times. The "check engine" light goes on every three months, every time for a different reason. Ive had the lower control arms, bushings, catalytic converter, tires, brakes, and brake hoses replaced in the 3 1/2 years Ive had this car. Resale value is pathetic. Parts are expensive, hard to come by, and nothing aftermarket works on the car. Getting it fixed is like pulling teeth, and Daewoos warranty people are constantly trying to rip you off.

  Great reliable car! - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By Dmitriy from Raleigh - January 17 - 5:10 pm

  This is a great reliable car! I have been driving it for 6 years and it has 98,000 miles on it. I didnt have any problems with it other than replacing a thermostat recently. I have a 5-speed manual transmission and recommend it to everyone. Its fun to drive and gives you full control over the car. It also has great gas mileage and a lot of room for the driver and a front passenger (I am 63" tall). Yes, it is harder to get parts for it compared to lets say Chevy or Ford, but it is not that hard as many people think. You can easily find any part online if a local body shop doesnt has it and its going to be much cheaper as well.

  Daewoo Dilemma - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By xoloitzquintle - December 5 - 12:17 pm

  I purchased a Daewoo after driving one as a rental in Europe. It is a great car: reliable, well-performing, and well designed. The only problem is that Daewoo left the US market after bankruptcy making service at times difficult. Fortunately I have had no problems with the car and needs little service. I have driven the car cross-country three times. It has a comfortable ride and performs well under all conditions.

  The Price was Right - 1999 Daewoo Leganza

  Great Little Korean Car for a good price - 2000 Daewoo Leganza
  By Ravuun - November 16 - 3:07 pm

  This car has lots of room for backseat passengers, plenty of trunk space, and even a decent stock stereo speaker system. It packs a lot of get-up-and-go, and seems like it wants to go faster! Despite weird little problems, such as the malfunction indicator light malfunctioning, you cant beat the Daewoo Leganza for the price! We do a lot of driving between Bellingham, WA and Seattle, WA, and this car has taken the wear and tear beautifully.

  So Much For That... - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By Shelberz - October 16 - 6:06 am

  $3,000.00 USD worth of repairs within 3 months. Im freaking out in anticipation of what’s next. I feel ashamed for purchasing this vehicle.

  Better than expected - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By Bobby - October 14 - 5:25 pm

  I have this car for more than 5 years. The most expensive repair was under $100, so I consider it to be very reliable. Its peppy, fun to drive, easy to make U turns in one lane, or park in small space. I would recommend it to everybody, except for the lack of dealerships and spare parts (although the spare parts seem to be easier to get hold off recently).

  the red bubble - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By Damien - September 29 - 7:18 pm

  Our family purchased the vehicle new in Sept. 2001. It had 2 miles upon delivery. The vehicle was used to commute 5 days a week from Sussex NJ to Wayne NJ. The upper half of motor was rebuilt at around 75k. Timing chain snapped and damaged motor. The odometer is creeping up on 100k. The air is still cold, it still drives in a straight line and only had 3 alignments in 4 years. The original fuel pump is still pumping. The automatic transaxle still shifts smoothly with nearly 100k. My friends liked it as much as I do and I wish more people appreciated the car. Its a great car! If they were still available for sale in the US I would go buy another brand new one.

  Worst Purchase ever made in my Life - 1999 Daewoo Lanos
  By Crystal - September 29 - 2:34 am

  I am so sick of problems with this car I cant even begin to tell my story but let just say out of the six years I have owned this junk I have only been able to drive this car for 3 years because I cant locate simple parts. BEWARE! I havent put any mileage on this car in 3 years so I dont even know my annual mileage.
