1998 Daewoo Leganza SXi review from Australia and New Zealand

"Well-equipped, very trendy, unbelievable cheap price"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing that I know of. I got the car second-hand. There were several small marks on the leather, all not noticeable unless you search for them. Several very small thumbnail dents.

General comments?

My parents brought me a 1988 Nissan Pulsar sedan after waiting for 5 months on my licence and being 17 that is a LONG wait, and as soon as it was in the yard the engine went. We got another engine from the Wrecking yard. Being a front wheel 4 cylinder my dad had never encountered on. It took us 4 hours to finally get it in. Then the clutch piece wasn't in the gearbox. I had my tantrum and the following day I came home to a 1998 Daewoo Leganza. Bring a Holden (Opel/Vauxhall) fan through and through, I didn't hold the Daewoo in high regard. Gradually its curvaceous shape and well-equipped interior deteriorated my original thoughts. It is an absolute blast to drive and the automatic gearbox is pleasantly smooth which surprised me. The engine is refined and the interior is pleasing to look at. On the whole I'm actually happy now that I didn't let a badge affect my decision about the Daewoo. I would recommend whole-heartedly to anyone to buy a Leganza. Being 17 and owning a car like that I expected to cop a little bit from my friends, but they like it. The Leganza appeals to all generations!
