2004 Daewoo Kalos SX notchback review from Malta
"Not recommended"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car which is still brand new, (after only 1200 km) has an abnormal clunking noise when the clutch is pressed and released, which I find very irritating.
The manufacturer claims that this is a characteristic on all Kalos models, which I find is not a plausible answer.
Crankshaft end-float can be felt by hand from the front pulley which I think is excessive and the manufacturer has also dismissed this as being the cause.
General comments?
I am not satisfied with the car and with the manufacturer's handling of my complaint.
