1997 Daewoo Espero GLXi review from UK and Ireland
"A saloon car, plain and simple"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor things first:
Central Locking - intermittent fault.
Broken rear spring (probably worn by previous towing)
All main brake pipes corroded.
Minor rattle on camshaft.
Big End failed. Result was a con-rod through the side of the block = 1 dead engine.
General comments?
Cheap plastic trim needs care and respect.
Generous load and passenger space.
High-spec for the cost of the vehicle.
Inoffensive, if a little bland, appearance.
Reasonable comfort for the class of car.
Not an ideal family car - trim, handles etc would be easily broken by boisterous children.
