2000 Daewoo Leganza CDX 2.2L

Summary:

The most car for the least money

Faults:

A faulty valve timing sensor caused the check engine light to come on about 1500 miles. Repaired by the dealer who provided an identical car at no charge (except for gas).

General Comments:

I like the full size spare on a wheel that matches the alloys on the car.

The ride is very smooth and comfortable.

The seats are very comfortable.

The backlight of the stereo is hard to see during daylight hours. OK at night.

Steering wheel could be extended a little further, or make it adjustable.

This is best car we have owned. My wife is very happy with it, and drives it everyday.

This is the best value I could find for the dollar.

I received the same letter, I had changed the sensor by the time I received it though... I sent copies of all the receipts and paper work attached to it, but I never heard from them again! Did you get a response???

Summary:

Very happy so far, hope they get back on their feet soon.

Faults:

Perfect so far.

General Comments:

Great value for the money. Good performance for a 4 cylinder. Gas mileage could be better (27mpg highway, accord got 33mpg).

Only complaint is the steering wheel needs to extend out a little further towards the driver. Can't complain about service because everything works perfect. Very satisfied so far.

Excellent car!!!

2000 Daewoo Leganza CDX

Summary:

Everything you need and could want

Faults:

The passenger side vanity mirror broke off of the visor. It was fixed the next day while I was driving an identical loaner car. That's all.

General Comments:

Great. I was able to treat myself while at the same time not living beyond my means.

The car looks super cool; with a sleek, bullet-like shape. It drives well, has nice handling and has an engine powerful enough to get on the ridiculously crazy highway safely, every day.

It is completely loaded with quality bells and whistles and I feel like a total queen driving it. It also doesn't hurt that it is not seen too often on the roads. I don't like to fit in entirely!

Oh yeah, I must add that the service has been awesome. I am so glad I don't have to deal with the jerks I encountered at the Volkswagen and Pontiac dealership/service centers. Although the car is already bought, the people at the Daewoo dealership continue to bend over backwards to make sure their customer is pleased.

2000 Daewoo Leganza CDX 2.0

Summary:

The best car for a reasonable price

Faults:

The sunroof rattled until I realized that the shade eliminates this if you close it. Haven't had the problem since.

General Comments:

People laugh at the name and the company has its financial problems. Unfortunately people are judging the car compared to other manufacturer's who not only sell a more expensive product, but have only had quality asscociated with them for less than ten years. Here in the state's Toyota was not a quality car 15 years ago. Why are they comparing it to one then?

I have had several Mercedes Benzes and Porsches over the last 10 years. So I missed out on the Toyota band wagon. When I went shopping for an economical four door car I found that for the money it was the best choice. This was an objective choice. American cars are equal in quality to the imports considering that they are mostly hybrid's of the same vehicles. ie; Ford & Mazda or Mitsubishi & Dodge. Cars have come a long way in the past twenty years and I did something I thought that I would never do again, I bought a car that was not German.

Never be afraid to try a new car.

2000 Daewoo Leganza SX

Summary:

Poor dealer service

Faults:

The car seems to run well and has a lot of extras for the money.

The dealer service is poor. I bought mine at Gwinnett Place and return there for service. The dash cracked slowly and 8 weeks ago I took it in to have it repaired. They ordered a new dash but 8 weeks later they will not return my calls as to when it will be replaced. I will probably wait until a busy weekend and picket the place with my wife and kids. This car has only 11,500 miles and the warranty service is terrible.

2000 Daewoo Leganza CDX 2.2

Summary:

Great value -- definitely better than Hyundai

Faults:

Absolutely great.

General Comments:

Having owned a Hyundai Sonata, I was cautious when looking at the Daewoo. What a difference! The performance is the most surprising attribute of the Leganza, my friends comment about the styling, especially the front grille -- they think it's an Infiniti front with a Lexus body.

Price - what value, I have the CDX model which has leather, traction control, moonroof, etc and the price was well under $20000.00. I couldn't find another car with this equipment anywhere close to this price. I will consider the Nubira station wagon when our Corolla lease is up.
