2000 Daewoo Nubira SE review from North America
"Korean lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a whole lot. YET!
The air conditioning switch doesn't work.
Had to replace brakes at 23000, even though most of the miles were driven on the highway.
I have to pay attention to my transmission, to adjust the pressure too much on the gas pedal for it to shift.
Tires blew at 20000 miles. Must be because its Hankok!
General comments?
I will never buy a Korean car again. It has a good warranty just because they want to buy a customer. I have to play a lot with the gas pedal for the tranny to work properly, this way I don't enjoy the ride. It was supposed to be an economical car, but I make maybe 15 mpg in the city which is pretty bad.
Even though nothing big went down, I have a feeling like I'll be spending a lot of time at the dealership in the near future.
