1998 Daewoo Espero GLE review from Poland
"The best of Daewoos with no successor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In general poor quality of materials in interior, the power windows has very weak engines, so it takes long time to open them and even more to close. The switchboard on driver's door died and had to be replaced. The bedrings I front wheels had to be replaced after 60 000 kms, in rear ones after 80 000. Some rust is visible, but only on front left wing.
General comments?
It is a really great car comparing to it's price.
I bought it from the dealer as a new one.
Never had problems with engine, transmission or suspension.
It is a very good car for everyday use, I can rely on it.
I wish it has more powerful engine, mine has 92 hp and the acceleration is acceptable only above 3500 rpm.
