1996 Daewoo Cielo GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good car to drive as its cheap to run and gets the job done"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing Belt at about 88 000.
Oil Sensor was gave up needed Genuine GM part which was quite costly compared to a generic one.
Thermostat had been replaced with wrong one and was cut to fit which meant it didn't work.
Interior trim is quite flimsy like.
Has a bit of surface rust in a few areas.
Rear wheels off centre and scrape on guard if driving friends around.
General comments?
Very economical.
Idea car for first car or second family car runabout.
Stock radio good, but when upgrading to after-market CD player most likely need to get it installed as special keys required to remove radio/Cassette.
