1997 Daewoo Nubira SE review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap to buy, expensive in the long run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within the first year of owning the car, electrical faults began to occur. The car was taken to a main dealer and a wiring loom under the dashboard was replaced under the manufacturers warranty.
The exhaust manifold cracked at 50,000 miles and had to be replaced. The replacement manifold was very expensive.
My head gasket blew at 72,000 miles. Since the car is now seven years old it is uneconomical to have the engine repaired at a main dealers. This causes its own problems as spare parts are very expensive (head gasket set costs in excess of £100, as does the timing belt and pulley set). In addition Daewoo will not allow you to purchase a workshop manual for the car.
Electrical faults occur periodically during wet or cold weather.
General comments?
Little dealer support.
The manufacturer will not sell workshop manuals for this car.
