1997 Daewoo Cielo review from Australia and New Zealand
"This car has quality potential, but has not been properly maintained"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car was purchased in half decent condition.
Dash lights not working.
Air conditioning not working.
Seats dirty.
Steering wobbly.
We've had quite a few problems since buying it.
Starting off with back door handle being broken. Had to be re- glued.
Head Gasket blew at 150,000
Clutch wearing out at 153,000
Gear stick hard to control.
General comments?
The car takes quick at lights, accelerates well.
Passenger seat doesn't flip forward like other hatch backs. Takes ages to pull it forward.
Needed to buy new stereo, old one wasn't plugged in properly, speakers fading out.
