Faults:

From day one it has cut off in route.

I have some type of emission problem that the dealer wouldn't fix the first week I bought it.

The sun roof leaks, and the roof fabric is already bubbling.

The starter and alternator went out within a month of purchase.

My right tire keeps strangely tearing and deflating.

The heater core went out has my carpet wet and stinky.

Now it won't start, no one knows why.

The dealer and the lender promised to get me out of the car that week, but the kept delaying, I missed work and other family members missed work trying to get me to the dealership. Unfamiliar with rules, I asked the dealer and lender should I stop driving the car until we made a transfer of collateral they said it was OK to keep driving the daewoo, but when my warranty ran out they said they could no longer help me after 2 months of promising to switch me out.

Faults:

Timing belt went at 58000 miles, bending the valves.

Brakes have been replaced twice.

Rotors were replaced 06/03.

Defogger usually doesn't work well unless you use the A/C at the same time.

Key sometimes sticks in the ignition.

General Comments:

Motor had to be replaced when timing belt went. Since company filed bankruptcy, it took many phone calls and threats of legal action to have a new motor ordered. Car was in the shop for 6 weeks.

Parts are available, IF you are willing to look for them.

Body damage? Might as well forget getting it fixed and find another vehicle.

Car does ride very well for the price.

Looks like a luxury sedan, but at a fraction of the cost.

Car has good speed and handles exceptionally well on corners, sharp turns, and fast stops.

Could be better on fuel mileage.

Depreciation will blow your mind.

Faults:

The first thing that went wrong is the fog lamp. I went to the dealer and he said it would be $40 to fix it. Give me a break, I did it myself for $6 and only took me 20 min.

Then my brakes were catching. ($120)

Finally, the seats will wear if not Armarol every week.

General Comments:

I bought my Daewoo for $4,000. When I bought it it ran good, and It still runs good. There is a few minor design flaws though. First, the fuel cut off switch is right near the passengers seat. This is a very bad place to have it, for obvious reasons. Second, the speakers are extremely hard to get to. I tried to replace them myself, defiantly recommend going to a audio specialist. Although my car has a few things that I would like to change, I still am so glad I bought it. For the price I could not do any better. I just hope, now that the company is out of business, parts won't be hard to come by. So, in closing if you are planning on getting a 99 Leganza, don't pay more than $3500. And make sure it has less than 80,000 miles.
