1999 Daewoo Leganza SX
Summary:
DaeWho: Crap made in Korea
Faults:
Brake lights didn't work.
Couldn't shift from Park to Drive.
CAM Sensor replaced twice.
Fuel line leaked.
Windshield leaks when rains.
Timing belt went at 59000.
Replaced radio three times.
Radio volume goes up by itself.
It's leaking oil.
Total break job twice.
General Comments:
Fuel shut-off button should be somewhere else rather than right next to the passenger seat. Almost every time car goes to a car wash, people cleaning the car accidentally press the button and car doesn't start. Needs resetting every time. Bad design.
Comfortable to drive, when it works.
Spacious seats. Comfortable back seats.
Since Daewoo bankrupted, its resale value dropped drastically. Blue Book value $2900 right now, bought it for $16,000 a total loss over 10 thousand dollars for 3 years.
Never ever again.
I wouldn't even buy a Daewoo radio to save my life. They are supposed to be a radio manufacturing company initially. Radio in the car sucks. Car itself sucks worse.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Well Daewoo is my first & last choice in terms of buying cars. Don't know about radio, but the radio of my car was amazing. Never given me any problems, but I replaced it cause I needed a CD player in my car (Daewoo Matiz). DAEWOO FOREVER for me.

Are you serious? Why do you complain so much about this car when you had only minor issues with it? It is normal for the timing belt to be replaced! The belt costs 20$; give me a break!!! God, you want a car to work perfectly your entire life?? Mercedes also give lots of problems, it costs a lot to repair! BMW and Audi also cause very big problems!!! What you want?

I don't think they are going to reply after 15 years.
