My Daewoo is a very reliable car
Aircon stopped working, and the brake and reverse lights also stopped working, but I managed to get it right again.
My Daewoo Nubira, is patient, reliable & very comfortable. I haven't experienced any other problems. I'm loving my Daewoo.

Good value for money, but needs to be taken care off
The timing belt broke 38000 km after replacement. All valves broke and a number of other damages were caused by this. My car is the 4th Nubira that I am aware of that had this type of problem well before it was due for belt replacement.
This car is great value for money.
Performance of the 2.0CDX is very good.
Dealers in South Africa is not very good.
Repairs very expensive.
If car is well looked after it will last a lifetime!

The comment on the cost of maintaining the Daewoo are spot on. I drive a Nubira 2.0 CDX which gave engine problems six months after I had bought it used. A noise in the engine cost me about R9000, which was compounded by the water pump giving in and saddling me with a further R8000 barely a year after the first problem. Parts are a nightmare as they are usually unavailable or so expensive you just want to strip and sell the car. For instance, a drive belt at the dealership costs three times more than at a reputable spares shop. It costs approximately R4000 to replace all four shocks, and service kits are generally only obtainable from the dealer such that you can't have your car serviced at other service garages. Talk about a pain in the neck!
I now know that this is the last daewoo car I will ever drive. In fact, this is the last car I will ever drive that comes from any dealership that is even remotely related to Daewoo.
