1997 Daewoo Cielo SLX review from Australia and New Zealand
"I am very happy that I bought this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator fracture discovered at 60,000 km. Replaced under warranty.
General comments?
When I first saw this car I was a bit hesitant. The Korean cars were all so cheap compared to the local made Australian cars. But when I found out about the free care where Daewoo pays for all the servicing for the first three years I was sold. It would be in Daewoo's interest to make a good car.
I have not been disappointed. For over four years I have driven this car it has never failed to start first go. It has never let me down. It has been great to have such a reliable car.
It may not be the sportiest car on the road, but it can travel comfortably at 140km when I get to open it up out on a country road. It is good on the petrol as well.
I am so happy with my Cielo and Daewoo, that I have just bought a brand new Leganza.
