2001 Daewoo Tacuma CDX review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent all round vehicle, and we would buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Soon after the car was delivered, we noticed that on first use on a cold morning, the indicators would not work. If the hazard lights were operated this corrected the fault. The cause was traced to a faulty relay which was supplied with the factory fitted tow bar. Having been changed, no further problems.
At approx 6000 miles a slight steering wheel wobble on braking, appears some Tacumas suffered this problem caused by a faulty batch of brake discs. Local dealer changed the front discs and pads immediately, and we have had had no further problems.
General comments?
By far, this is the best vehicle we have owned and ideally suited to family use. Impressed with the comfort and all round vision.
Design of storage drawers and under floor compartments is very good and makes good use of the space.
Rear electrical jack plug and additional mobile phone sockets are useful.
Being able turn the front passenger seat around and the sliding centre seat doubling as a table is a bonus.
Looking forward to a diesel version.
