1999 Daewoo Leganza SX review from North America
"DaeWho: Crap made in Korea"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake lights didn't work.
Couldn't shift from Park to Drive.
CAM Sensor replaced twice.
Fuel line leaked.
Windshield leaks when rains.
Timing belt went at 59000.
Replaced radio three times.
Radio volume goes up by itself.
It's leaking oil.
Total break job twice.
General comments?
Fuel shut-off button should be somewhere else rather than right next to the passenger seat. Almost every time car goes to a car wash, people cleaning the car accidentally press the button and car doesn't start. Needs resetting every time. Bad design.
Comfortable to drive, when it works.
Spacious seats. Comfortable back seats.
Since Daewoo bankrupted, its resale value dropped drastically. Blue Book value $2900 right now, bought it for $16,000 a total loss over 10 thousand dollars for 3 years.
Never ever again.
I wouldn't even buy a Daewoo radio to save my life. They are supposed to be a radio manufacturing company initially. Radio in the car sucks. Car itself sucks worse.
