  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 todayÂ’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.

  My Daewoo Lanos Hatchback or 3 drs, - 1999 Daewoo Lanos
  By William E. Lowe - November 26 - 2:00 am

  I still have it and driving it. It a great car I turned in to a racer. So bsd they don`t sell it more in Puerto Rico. I had to do some changes because most of its part don`t sell it no more. Most of its part had to buy by the net to e-bay. Or get the from other cars at the Yunkers.

  By Green Kepi - November 16 - 2:00 am

  Here it is almost 2011 and the old girl is still going strong. Nearly 200,000 miles. This car has paid for itself many times over! When it does die on me. Will be like losing a member of the family!

  Nightmare - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By hellofacar - November 12 - 2:00 am

  This car, Ive made the mistake to buy it used, from a friend, with a 106,000 miles. After 6 months of use, it had become a nightmare, soon after the timing belt broke on it, no matter how good Ive tried to maintain it. Worse, the whole car got the lower control replaced, but problem still not solved. I hated the car and heaven only blesses those who still own one in their garage. Im also happy they dont make them anymore, and would not recommend anyone. I should have given it for charity, but preferred to scrap it instead. Dont buy this car please .

  LoveALanos - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By MyLanos - September 8 - 2:00 am

  I was interested in a hyundai excel until i test drove the daewoo lanos and fell in love. It is a great little car, and the only thing i have replaced in the 4 years i have had it is the battery.I am glad i went with daewoo now as a friend bought the hyundai excel and has had nothing but probs with it.The daewoo lanos is better on fuel, has less road noise, and is actually faster, and to top it all off our family of four fit perfectly in it. Greatest purchase i ever made.Even the hubby(ford ute man) loves to drive it and i have trouble getting the keys back off him! The only problem i have found is the headlights arent that great, even after putting better globes in but all up,i love my lanos

  Things started out good. - 2001 Daewoo Leganza
  By AudoribleAudrey - August 20 - 11:52 am

  I bought this car a couple of years ago with 70k, now we are at 111k and the cars engine TICKS like crazy! We have always done preventive maintenance (oil changes,timing belt, etc.) and the car keeps having issues. The air conditioning also went out (was perfectly ice cold for the first year I had it). My husband does like the power button, but I never use it. I wouldnt buy another Leganza.

  Like it, but has issues - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By TON10ESR - July 23 - 2:08 am

  I had my Daewoo Lanos for about 7 months now and I like it so far and I havent had issues with it until now. all just minor for a car with 60k (front and rear brakes, tie rod, RF Caliper, and electrical issues). Gas mileage is ok on this car. I average around 300 miles to a tank of gas. Its pretty fun to drive, but parts are hard to find and I have to order even the easiest of parts for it.

  Great Car! Dont be afraid - 2000 Daewoo Leganza
  By Jswids - July 2 - 9:15 am

  Had this car for 8 yrs and had minimal problems. Repair shops will give you the run around if you dont know anything about cars. I can get practically any part for this at the local Autozone. If a mechanic wont touch it you need a new mechanic. He/she should be able to fix anything and its not rocket since. This car has 4 wheels and an engine just like every other car on the road. Much easier to work on than a VW for sure. I had my doubts when my wife bought it in 2002 but it has been a great vehicle and at 10 years old it looks amazing, is dependable, and cost us practically nothing to own. Great car! Too bad Daewoo went under here.

  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.
