1997 Daewoo Cielo GLX review from Colombia
"Worth every cent I paid for it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I just bought it, the entire clutch had to be repaired.
I managed to overheat the engine (still wondering why and how this happened...)
The high voltage wiring to the distribution rotor was burned.
I noticed that a holder under the engine was broken; this seems to be a common repair, according to the mechanic.
The "check engine" light went on today.
General comments?
I am very happy with the general performance of the car, but maintenance is now a serious issue, when it comes to money. However I would rater repair it because you cannot get this comfort, space and performance for the price. Originally, I paid some US$6,000. Now, the US dollar exchange rate went down, so it would be some US$8,500.
