1995 Daewoo Espero CD review from Australia and New Zealand
"Unreliable car - stay away!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
* Alternator went *3* times!
* Electrics played up (windows, CD).
* Spring in the steering column snapped.
* Airbag lights and engine management lights randomly go off.
* Rust after only 3 years.
* Radiator and cooling system (inc. surge tank) had to be replaced.
* Car would overheat in traffic.
* Car would thud and shudder when turning on full lock.
* Electric mirrors and aerial didn't work.
General comments?
Bad investment. Low quality build and finishing, even though high equipment levels. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.
