1996 Daewoo Espero CD review from Hong Kong
"Good value and a good workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air-con compressor replaced twice.
Alternator replaced twice.
Central door lock is sometimes faulty.
General comments?
Very roomy.
Good equipment level.
Good handling and definitely a driver's car.
It is not any inferior to Japanese cars of s similar class. It actually feels tougher.
It has lasted more than 5 years and 120,000 km with us. It looks as though it is going to last for another 5 years.
