  Excelent Performance and Appearence - 2002 Daewoo Leganza
  By E.F. STINSON - November 15 - 11:49 am

  Purchased a Daewoo Leganza CDX because the dealer was giving away a free Daewoo if you bought one. I was the real deal and we got a nice low mileage 1999 Daewoo Lebera 2 door sedan free. Both are still running well in 2008 since purchase in 2002.

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

  Fun car - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By jgirt246 - July 26 - 3:02 pm

  I purchased for fuel saving. Drove it for about 8 months then threw a rod. Its been sitting in my driveway since June of 07. No one will even look at it. They say there are no parts availible and they cant work on these anymore. But when it was running it was a great car. Broke down at 61xxx miles.

  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.

  Farewell to my road partner - 2000 Daewoo Leganza
  By LongDistance - May 24 - 8:56 pm

  I purchased my Laganza brand new in Feb 01. I had only 3 cars before her yet none as good. Never had any major problems, only recently the dealership that serviced her closed and there was no one reliable to take care of her. The other week the timing belt snapped. So now I lay her to rest ... If there was another one out there Id buy it today - the best car Ive ever had. Farewell Silver Bullet

  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!

  Awesome Car - 2002 Daewoo Leganza
  By kathy - November 26 - 11:08 am

  I really like this car. Got it used from a dealer and it only had 11000 miles on it. Great value.

  Thank you, Daewoo! - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By mazerunner - October 19 - 11:03 pm

  I bought my 5-speed Lanos hatchback brand new in 2000 and have not had any problems with it at all. The car has started every time and handles well. I made sure to get all my oil changes every 3000 miles and I replaced my timing belt at 55,000 miles. There was a recall involving one of the sensors back in 2003 or so, but aside from that and buying new tires and a muffler, I havent put a lot of money into this car at all. Its good on gas, has cheap insurance, is easy to park, corners well, and even has a bit of speed to go along with it. I think this car has served me so well because Ive taken care of it as far as maintenance is concerned. Even if it died tomorrow, its been worth it.

  Not Necessarily Wise - 2002 Daewoo Nubira
  By MrDElliott - September 6 - 8:56 pm

  I have had my Daewoo for about 2 years now and am at 57,000 miles. I have had 2 window regulators go bad (different windows), problems with the front axle, problems unlocking the doors in the winter, and a bad front cam-shaft sensor. These arent major problems, but since parts arent available, it is annoying waiting 3 weeks to get something fixed. It has me worried what will happen when something gets worse (can I go 3 weeks without a car if there is a serious problem?). If you want an inexpensive car, feel free to purchase one (trade-in value is awful and you get what you pay for in this case). Otherwise, I would spend a little extra and get something with more quality.

  Best car ever - 2001 Daewoo Leganza
  By DaveWoo - July 7 - 11:56 am

  This was the best car Ive ever owned, including Cadillacs, Saabs, etc. The CDX had leather, sunroof, nice sound, fun to drive, FAST, and many things I could figure how to fix myself and Im not mechanical. I got from 28-32 mpg using premium fuel. Unfortunately, someone hit me and I totaled it. This car would have easily gotten me to 200k miles if some jerk on a cell phone hadnt been late for her flight and trying to hurry. I am now about to buy a 2000 CDX.
