1998 Daewoo Nubira SE review from UK and Ireland
"A turkey!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox is terrible. Gearshifts are annoying as you really have to push hard to get the car into the gear you want.
Brakes creak loudly as you come to a stop.
Loud creaking from rear of car when you turn.
Heat shields from the exhaust went after 6 months.
Steering is too loose and you really have to hang on hard with both hands.
Stopping distance from the brakes is inadequate.
Engine is very loud and thrashy.
General comments?
For a car that is 2 years old, it runs like an 8 year old car. If I wasn't in a finance agreement with the dealer I would get rid of the car immediately.
