1999 Daewoo Tico SX 0.8

Summary:

Cheap to run, ideal for hard urban traffic and small budget

Faults:

No problems yet, but my car mileage is very low.

General Comments:

Very small car, ideal for my home towns traffic.

Everything fits and seem to be a product of a very thought mind.

The best thing about this car is the consumption which is 4.3/5.5 outside/city.

Not a good car for long trips and fast roads. Unstable when taking corners at fast speed.

Otherwise a great car for my budget.

Strange.

1995 Daewoo Tico PM 0.8

Summary:

Great when you are a student!

Faults:

The exhaust system had to be replaced at 90,000 kilometers.

All schock absorbers failed at 100,000 kilometers and again at 130,000 km.

The fuel pump had to be replaced at 60,000 km.

The head gasket had to be replaced 2 times by now.

The screen washer's electric engine died out at 85,000 km.

The engine started to leak oil at 125,000 km and still haven't figured out why.

The brake disks are pretty worn out and need replacement.

General Comments:

The car is very nippy, for its size, and handles really well in the city

Although its quite unstable when dealing with sharp corners, it's a pleasure to drive.

The fuel consumption is great!About 4l/100 km outside the city and about 6,5 in a hot summer day.

No rust so far, but it has constant minor problems that require service.

The PM model is manufactured in Korea along with its DX brother and the building quality is higher than the SX versions.

1998 Daewoo Tico SX 0.8 normally aspirated

Summary:

A durable and somehow sporty car

Faults:

A few months ago the alternator belt got a bit loose and drained the battery.

Last year I replaced the back dampers because one had a leak.

A while ago I had to replace a burnt-out light bulb.

The AC has a 5-10 minute lag before it starts, I don't use it that much though.

General Comments:

It's a very reliable car with huge potential.

I had only minor problems with it, even the battery still works, the interior finishing is excellent.

The engine lacks in power a bit, only 41 hp at 5000 rpm, but, with some adjustments that I've done, the car performs very well in street racing in the city.

Due to this the fuel consumption raised to around 10-11 l/100 Km.

I've reached 162-163 Km/h, although they recommend only 134 Km/h, and it performs smoothly even if it gets a bit noisy inside.

1998 Daewoo Tico SL 0.7

Summary:

Low consumption, reliable, and funny

Faults:

I am a little uncomfortable because my knee is always on a hard surface.

Is not so rounded corners like the car styles in use, but I like it.

General Comments:

4.2 liter gas per 100 Km outside town, 5.5 liter per 100 km in town.

Fast, reliable and small.

Easy to drive because have a small steering wheel (no power steering) and short course for the pedals.

Small car, and like a toy. Hight 1.4 meters, large 1.4 and length 3 meters. For me, at 1.8 meters, is at my arm-pit. On the inside is quite large.

The back seat is folding and make a lot bigger volume for luggage.

Look like a very small Jeep.

2000 Daewoo Tico SX/AC 0.7

Summary:

Only those who don't have it don't appreciate it!

Faults:

General Comments:

After all is a pretty good car.

The space is very comfortable for 2 persons & luggage.

Its reliability is good to very good.

1998 Daewoo Tico SX

Summary:

Small car, excellent technique!

Faults:

- The A/C system didn't work from the beginning, but I didn't notice when I bought it. It was fixed in the service after half of year of struggling with incompetent mechanics.

- The doors started to make a noise when driving over road irregularities after about 10000 km.

General Comments:

- A very economic little car - 4.2l/100km outside the city and 6l/100km in the city with the A/C turned on.

- Very suitable for city traffic and fast acceleration in the first, second and third gear.

- Very comfortable even though it's so small on the outside, and very reliable even on very long trips.

- Elastic engine helped by an well designed gear-box.
