1996 Daewoo Nexia GLXi review from UK and Ireland
"Disappointing - not built to last more than three years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had been a reliable car for about three years and initially pleasurable to own. However, the sun roof surround corroded to white powder after two years and it took several days to decide who was to replace it under warranty. Had to take to an approved Webasto (I think) dealer after Daewoo eventually found one.
Rust appearing under the paint in various panels and joints. Now the car has developed an intermittent starting fault (AA called twice) and Halfords cannot fix it because it's something to do with the electronic key/immobiliser - one week now, no car. Daewoo do not want to know now the car is out of warranty. In fact they were particularly rude. Halfords have not even been able to get a lot technical advice from Daewoo either.
General comments?
Never again - it's cheap and nasty and the market value is now less than a ten year old Ford Escort.
If anybody is thinking of buying a Daewoo - don't!
