2004 Daewoo Tacuma CDX review from UK and Ireland
"Good value, cheap, reliable family motor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong since I've had it, although the previous owner had a new ECU fitted under warranty.
Door plastics scuff and mark easily.
General comments?
Good visibility. seats nice and high up. Loads of flexibility in seating arrangements.
Good acceleration for a MPV, but it's a load lugger not a sports car, so handles as such.
Catastrophic early depreciation make it a good used buy.
Fuel emissions way too high. The car tax band will rocket in 2010. Daewoo / Chevrolet need to get the emissions down. No point in making value for money cars if they're too expensive to run every day.
I estimate it will cost me over £400 for a year. Will get rid of it before that happens. These cars will plummet in value after this.
Fuel economy not good. Not getting 30mpg even driving steady on a run.
