1998 Daewoo Leganza CDX 2.0

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Best car we have ever had. The whole car is a real step up from the our previous Fords (awful build quality) and Mazda (good car).

The car has been reliable, comfortable and the climate control and leather seats are excellent. Also a pretty good standard stereo, add to that the excellent warranty and friendly dealers. I can see why Daewoo's market share is increasing while others are falling! Keep this up and they will have a customer for life.

1998 Daewoo Leganza CDX 2.0i petrol

Faults:

1) In first week, an electrical fault caused a total power loss. I coasted to the roadside, called the AA (membership of which is included in the deal), who fixed the problem and had me mobile again within the hour.

2) Starting problems turned out to be caused by a faulty ignition key transponder. Using the spare key until a replacement arrived fixed the problem.

3) Drivers door electric window stuck 1/2 way up (had to be closed by hand). Repaired by Daewoo.

General Comments:

Overall, the best car I've ever owned. The whole warranty deal is to be applauded, in that it demonstrates a confidence in their product not shown by many car manufacturers. All of the problems mentioned above occurred within the first few weeks, and were quickly rectified (with courtesy car provided in the interim). Problem free driving since then.

I would be interested to know whether the driver of this car is still as happy as they seem to be in this entry. My experience of Daewoos seems to say that once they are out of warranty, you're stuffed BIG TIME!

All this happened in the first week?!

1998 Daewoo Leganza CDX 2.0

Faults:

Driver's front headlight leaking.

General Comments:

Automatic version is a dream to drive, I believe that the engine for the size and weight of the vehicle is slightly underpowered. The comfort and general ride, road holding and sound proofing are excellent. Leganza is excellent value for money.

1998 Daewoo Leganza CDX 2.0 petrol

Faults:

When new (May 1998) the climate control worked in reverse ie cold = hot & hot = cold!! Daewoo put it down to a wrong servo motor being fitted during manufacture.

I currently (Jan 1999) have a headlamp that is full of water and an oil leak on the cam cover, I await parts!

General Comments:

Although I have experienced a couple of niggly faults, Daewoo have been helpful without fault, ie I was given a loan car (summer 98) for a 2 week driving holiday while the air con was fixed.

1998 Daewoo Leganza CDX 2.0 petrol

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong.

One damaged front spot light due to large stone hitting the glass.

General Comments:

The car is an automatic and is a delight to drive, the climate control is excellent I would certainly buy another one.

My biggest complaint is that filling with petrol is slow compared with previous cars.

No protection covers for front spot (fog) lights.

1998 Daewoo Leganza CDX 2.0 16v d-tec i petrol

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

I think this is the best car I have ever driven. I had a 5 Class BMW and E-Class Mercedes, but nothing like this.

As I crashed my Mercedes I bought this car just till I buy some new car (I wanted Volvo) but now I'm sure I will keep it. As I bought all options that Daewoo gives I found it just enough for a car of that price. Wooden cover and Leather seats give you a good sense of comfort. The manufacturer says that car's max. speed is 205km/h, I driven it at 215km/h. I think this car could be a serious pretender to take Opel Omega's or even Mercedes E-Class place only if it had: 1) Stronger engine (2000cc and 136hp is not enough).

2) Onboard computer.

3) Side air-bags.
