1998 Daewoo Espero CD review from South Africa
"A waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the alternator 5 times.
The car overheats and nothing can be done according to the manufacturer.
The service is shocking.
The car is extremely heavy on fuel.
The interior rattles consistently and it falls apart too easily.
General comments?
The car does have a good top speed for its engine capacity, but seems to wear tyres down too easily, I'm not sure about the balance and weight distribution.
