  Decent car, several significant flaws - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By pjrcard - March 15 - 10:13 am

  I bought the 2001 Daewoo Nubira CDX, auto, as a retired rental in 2003 with about 18,000 miles. It now has 97,000. In general I like it. The design was sleak at the time and remains modern. Sunroof was great on summer days. Interior leather and design was nice and in general its been a good drive. But beware. It has a few very significant flaws. Many owners have reported problems with control arms and ball joints due to a poor design. Ive had to replace the control arms 3 times now. The emergency brake wears quickly. Right rear power window doesnt work, right front very slow. Paint chipping on door handles. Good car to look at, and fun to drive, but has some serious issues.

  pretty great for the money - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By Doyle - June 3 - 1:19 pm

  I had purchased the car back in feb 02 from a chevy dealership when GM was looking to purchase DaewooUSA. I got the car for pretty cheap and it put a couple thousand down on it. I didnt really start to have any problems until 70,000 miles. The A/C did go out on me around 50k, but that was because I had broken the coolant tubes after running over something. I drove the car around for 2 more years in FL w/o AC, but still a great car. I have moved to California and dont need A/C! I did break a pressure-plate for my clutch back at 80k mi and only spend like $1200 to fix the throwrod and plate (including labor). 100k miles now!

  Frustrated in NC - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By Frustrated in NC - February 4 - 2:00 am

  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!

  Almost worthless - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By jleemeyer - May 27 - 2:00 am

  I had trouble with the warranty because Daewoo went bankrupt. The bankrupcy also dropped the value of the car to near nothing.

  Rented It For a Week - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By John R - June 25 - 2:00 am

  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. its also cramped in there. The car had a cheap build quality that seemed to work for the most part. Cruise control didnt work well. A/C didnt work well. Recirculate didnt 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. its just hard foam & one spring.
