1997 Daewoo Espero CD review from Australia and New Zealand
"A smart and affordable gem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only one thing, the front wheels popped out of alignment when it hit the footpath at 47,000 kilometres.
NOT ONE PROBLEM that the car has actually been responsible for.
General comments?
The car was purchased in 97' and I have had no problems with it in the reliability section.
The car itself now is cheap because it's not popular, the quality is that of an acceptable standard, and the performance in acceleration terms is okay, but at 183 kph it isn't exactly a supercar.
The boot is large enough for many items and the room in the back is not barely acceptable.
It's a good car!
I also own a Mercedes Benz S-Class and I prefer the Daewoo as a town car, it's got good torque!
