  Great little car - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By MikeD - June 22 - 9:13 pm

  This is a great little car for the price. I was nervous about purchasing a Daewoo, but I have had no problems, and I average 30mpg 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.

  Car needs to be destroyed! - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By George Kline - March 16 - 8:34 pm

  When I first bought this car I was really high on it! Now,after having this car for three years I dislike it with extreme hatred. About two &1/2 mos. ago I had the timing belt to break on me which caused me a great deal of discomfort. In the last three weeks Ive developed a problem with the Ingnition Coil. In fact I just returned home after having it towed for the 5th time. The car is going to have to be removed from my ownership as soon as I can make arrangments. I wouldnt reccommend this vehicle to no one, not even my worst enemy!

  Garbage - 1999 Daewoo Nubira
  By Barbara - January 1 - 10:02 am

  Bought this car new. After warranty expired, had nothing but problems. What went wrong early on: CD player, air conditioning, ABS, heater cores (had to be replaced twice!), windshield wipers, alarm, head gasket. Struts seemed to wear out quickly. Thats what I can remember off the top of my head, apart from normal maintenance! Spent thousands keeping this piece of rubbish on the road. That is, when we were able to get the parts. Because it sometimes took days for parts to arrive, we would have the added expense of renting a car. In a way, it didnt do too badly..finally retired it 4 days ago after 154,000 miles (bought new Honda Civic - love it so far!). DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!!!!!!

  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.

  Not bad for the price. - 1999 Daewoo Nubira
  By Mike5584 - November 14 - 1:30 am

  Bought the car used for $3000. Manual, only had 29k miles on it at the time. First week, needed new engine, water pump, timing belt, etc. Since then, needed few other parts, but for the price Im paying, I really cant complain. You get a lot for your money.

Topped out at 122mph (not that I ever did this) can use a rear spoiler for better control. Had to replace RT lower contol arm, replaced timming belt @ 50K since I live in Alaska.

  CDX Wagon 5 speed - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By DanL - September 8 - 2:00 am

  Bought in Sep 2000 and now has 73000 on it. Main belt broke at 52000 killing the engine but was covered on warranty. Tires do not last as long as other cars. I get 27 in town and up to 35 highway. Nice handling and brakes. Has developed a vibration in front end at 70000, and is on its 3rd battery. Power mirros quit early on. No resale so Ill keep it another year.

  I Love My Daewoo ! - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By roadtripsal - August 16 - 2:00 am

  Bought my Nubira Wagon new 1/2001, it now has 74,000 miles and is a dream to drive. Drive 70 miles a day to work and it has never failed me. Any repairs were completed with minimal hassle, mostly the dealers fault. Parts come from the Daewoo Parts Division in California Body in great shape, no rust, even in a snowy climate where road salt is hard on cars. I have made 6 trips to Georgia (1200 miles) and have always been comfortable. Sound system is terrific, all luxury extras were included in the price. Calamitous they no longer sell in US !!
