General Comments:

I bought the car new in Nov 2000 and since that time have had bugger all go wrong.

I tow my yamaha wave runner and a box trailer, with ease.

The free service was brilliant, wish it was still going.

I have fitted an after market air filter called a pod, which increased performance slightly.

I then fitted iridium spark plugs and that is when the change really occurred.

The slight hesitation when initially accelerating, has now disappeared.

I have fitted performance bridgestone tires and handling has improved, especially in the wet.

So far the car has performed well.

It is now 3.5 years old and I plan to keep the car for a few years yet.

I suppose buying the vehicle from new and looking after it has paid off.

However, after saying that, to have some fun, I do enjoy pushing it round my area, as it is hilly with plenty of corners.

I am about to fit extractors and brace bars and then lower the suspension, just for the hell of it.

Anyway, I am one happy daewoo owner, cheers!!
