1996 Daewoo Nexia GLXi review from UK and Ireland
"Perfect balance of reliability, drive-ability and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really.
General wear and tear such as brake pads and tires.
ABS light always on due to dirty sensor.
Drivers seat has collapsed lumber support. Understandable as a huge fat guy had it for the 100,000 miles before I did!
Air conditioning does not work properly as it has never been serviced since the car was new. (According to history)
General comments?
Extremely enjoyable car to drive.
Power steering is excellent and light without loosing feel of the road.
Feels very nippy around town and not a slouch at motorway speeds. Will easily cruise at 100mph.
Seems to stand abuse quite well. Constantly hand brake turning in car parks :-) has had no effect on car!
Does under-steer through very tight corners, but predictable.
Very good looking car (in bright red 3 door).
Engine sounds very deep and throaty when revved.
