1997 Daewoo Cielo GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel gauge replaced in warranty 3 times.
Water pump went at 87000 km (after radiator flush)
Head Gasket at started to leak @87500 km (caused by overheating - due to water pump)
General comments?
Overall this has been a fairly reliable car over the 6 years that we have owned it. Interior and exterior still in excellent condition (apart from gear shift boot), with repairs being really no more expensive than any other car.
Performance is OK (hey its only a small engine), handling is good and so is comfort - air con is outstanding, good fuel economy.
Most impressed by the amount of room with the back seat folded down.
