  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

  Very happy with it - 1999 Daewoo Nubira

  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.

  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 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.

  Dont purchase a Daewoo! - 1999 Daewoo Nubira
  By Motts - August 21 - 2:00 am

  I bought a showroom car w/about 7,500 miles. Day one, headlights would not work, the entire wiring had to be replaced. A few months later, battery died, headlights stopped working, inside lights stopped working, all wiring problems. Fuel pump went after only about 23,000 miles, most recently, the timing belt broke and damaged the entire casing. Now I have to wait 3 to 4 weeks for parts and repairs. Daewoo refuses to pay towing or car rental. They are hiding behind the Chapter 11 bankruptcy they filed. DONT EVER BUY A DAEWOO!!!!

  reliable, - 1999 Daewoo Nubira
  By pogo - May 31 - 2:00 am

  This car is very reliable. 65000km so far and noting wrong. Stable on the road like very few cars are. The look of the car is one of the best. Everything is in place and working well. Very secure! You need to learn how to drive it as it has a character of its own. Original tires arent the best, good tires make a big difference. Fuel consumption is about 10% higher than I would expect ei with air conditioner on 100% I have 11/10/8 per 100 km running on natural gaz.
