  165,650 and still going strong - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By sinclair_00 - March 9 - 9:55 am

  11 years and 165,650 miles later, and I still love my Daewoo Nubira SE. It has not left me stranded, and has only overheated twice, once when my water pump died at 152,500, and then when the original radiator cracked at 162,350. Other than that just your basic repairs, if you take care of it it will return the favor. I really wish GM, Suzuki and the unknown third partner had bought the US division and kept it in business because it would have been nice to see where Daewoo could have gone in today’s market. Especially with the fuel prices of today. The best investment was swapping the bad Hancook tires for BF Goodrich Traction T/A tires it has improved the ride, performance and MPG of the Nubira. This car is definitely a keeper, if not for a daily driver then for a perfect backup vehicle and will be used to the very end which according to my mechanic could quite possible be another 50,000+ miles.

  Love the Daewoo - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By jimmie - June 21 - 3:02 pm

  In the 10 years Ive owned my Nubira Ive had only a handful of repairs that were needed, until this year. In Feb of this year a piece of the stainless steal exhaust system rusted out, and then 2 weeks ago the water pump dies, spraying Antifreeze on the timing belt, and then last Friday the Oil pump died. With the exception of those 2 things, and my A/C condenser rusting out, I would highly recommend this car to anyone. It now has 152,500 miles on it, and was bought brand new in 2000 with only 30 miles on it. It is still very comfortable on long trips both freeway and city, and has always started right up, no matter how cold the WI winters are. I wish GM kept this brand in business here.

  the woowoo - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By jon daewoo - December 30 - 8:53 am

  I got this used as a graduation car after driving it while in school. Ive had very few problems with it beyond normal wear and tear. I consistently get outstanding mileage with it: I got over 40mpg coming back from TX to KS last winter. The "power" feature is nice for when you want a sportier feel/acceleration and for driving long, climbing stretches (lots of hills). Very comfortable to drive and handles great. The speaker system puts out impressive quality for being a smaller car. My only issue is an oil leak that is hard to fix because there are no dealers anymore.

  Great little car!! If you keep the timing belt replaced and lower control arms replaced you have a great car at a great price!

  Wow, what a car! - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By robsawriter - June 13 - 8:22 pm

  I bought this car used from a friend. I had no idea that what I was getting would be so fun to drive, get such great fuel economy and these days with the price of gas hitting records each day, it is a bonus to own this car.

  No problems. Purchased new. Now has 35K miles on it. Did replace the compressor to the tune of $800 USD. Replaced first set of brakes. Other than the above absolutely no problems. Decent fuel economy - I get about 32 mpg highway

  very good car - 1999 Daewoo Nubira
  By daewoo man - March 29 - 4:54 pm

  I bought this car in Aug. 2005. It has been a very good car. It now has 66000 miles on it. I have replaced the water pump though. Also the car was pulling when I push the gas and go around corners I researched it and found that the bushings behind the front tires needed to be replaced. Overall this car has been great the re-sale value is horrible though because of the company going out of business. The car has proven to be reliable, gas mileage around 24-26 mpg. It has very good power and pick up compared to most 4 cylinders I have driven. I would recommend it to anyone

  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.
