2000 Daewoo Leganza CDX review from North America
"A great value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brake light switch went, but was replaced by the dealer that sold me the car.
General comments?
The Leganza is a terrific car for the money. The ride is quiet and smooth. The acceleration is acceptable. It will hold four adults relatively comfortably (the back seat is somewhat tight for tall people). The fit, finish, and general quality, far surpass what you should expect in this price range. They can be acquired for short money in the United States because of a parts shortage. The shortage was created when South Korean suppliers staged a parts boycott until old bills were paid. Most of those issues have been resolved, and parts are flowing again. Like other people, I was understandably anxious, but I have been encouraged by correspondence with parts suppliers in Great Britain, Austraila, and Puerto Rico. A supplier in Puerto Rico says he can get any part I need in less than two days. Many parts for my Leganza are also used on Suzuki (timing belt, etc). There are seventy thousand Daewoos on American roads. It is foolish to think that people who have the parts sitting in their warehouses just outside the United States won't find a way to sell them to us. I am looking for another Leganza CDX for my wife.
