2000 Daewoo Nubira SE review from North America
"A low-cost, no resale value ripoff"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Almost immediately, caps below dashboard popped off for no apparent reason.
Front right sway bar link needed replacement ($294 repair) after two years, 29,500 miles. Front left sway bar link currently needs repair after three years, 41,000 miles.
Front door locks freeze and power locks will not function, necessitating getting into the back seat and manually jacking the lock up to open the driver's side door.
Seal around windows has deteriorated so badly that frost develops INSIDE the car on the windscreen.
Emergency brake, rarely applied except in parking-on-hill situations, recently broke and will need to be repaired.
Seats and seat belts squeak after 41,000 miles.
General comments?
Would never purchase a car from Daewoo again, especially considering the repairs I have made took two weeks due to parts needing to be flown in from elsewhere.
