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.
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!
Warp drive depreciation and zero resale value...That'll be the Daewoo!
Have just bought a P registered Nexia 1.5 GLXi, have driven 50 miles and it needed £11.25 to top it up again, so doing 15 mph, surely this can't be right? Read your survey comments and they all say fuel consumption good. Mine is twin cam, ABS brakes etc etc. Apart from the fuel consumption it is a dream of a car.
My 97 P Nexia is lousy on fuel consumption too. I understand that the engine is an Isuzu unit of middle aged technology, why didn`t Daewoo use a Vauxhall engine?
The performance is dreadful too, twin cam 16v - seen quicker lawn mowers.
