  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.

  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.

  Not Bad - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By Freestyle - May 28 - 2:00 am

  I though I would give them a try and Im glad I did. I have put 73K on it in less than two years. I have had to replace a water pump at about 64K but that has been it. I was the first guy to need one at the dealership that sold it to me. I also replaced the timing belt which had to be removed anyway to get to the pump. I have a 5 speed and get around 28mpg no matter what I do.

  Excellent car for the money - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By pdog - May 27 - 2:00 am

  I was looking for a used car at the dealer for around 10,00, I test drove a 97 civic and a 99 toyota corolla, I was disappointed with bot. I was talked into driving a brand new nubira that was priced at 10,500 after a rebate. It drove much nicer than than the 2 used cars, and it came with a new-car warranty...SOLD! Ive been pleased ever since. (Even though it is disconcerning that Daewoo has since stopped selling cars here and filed for bankrupcy).. The car has been totally reliable, plenty of power, great fuel mileage, etc..like any cheaper car, if you maintain it well, it will last.

  My first real car - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By MaryMary - May 3 - 2:00 am

  I just bought my Nubira, and everyone seems to be concerned with the fact that no one drives them. I love my car so far and would not be happier with anything else. It has great pick up and a very smooth ride. I guess Ill just have to wait and see how hard parts are to get. Its a leap of faith that Im happy I took so far!

  You get what you pay for - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By Bomba - September 20 - 2:00 am

  Engine: Noisy engine with vibrations in the lower gear range. Suspension: You will feel EVERY bump. Interior: Cheap handles and CD/Radio. Exterior: Front wheels are hard to keep clean. Verdict: Why didnt I buy a Hyundai Elantra ???
