1996 Daewoo Nexia GLI review from UK and Ireland
"Not the cheapest to run and maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear offside brake cylinder decided to leak fluid. New pads and cylinder needed.
Both offside brake pipes require replacing due to severe rusting.
Poor paintwork on bonnet.
Boot strip snapped off as I shut the boot!
Rocker cover gasket has developed an oil leak.
Front offside spring split and sheared off!
Poor door locks.
General comments?
I was given this car from my dad as he brought a new Skoda and all they would give him for the Nexia was £500.
All in all, its not a bad car, but its getting to that age where everything starts to go wrong!
Various niggles, but my own pet hate is the poor door locks, It was broken into outside my house within seconds!
I must say that it's starting to get expensive repairing the faults that keep cropping up now.
