Faults:

Cam sensor intermittent fault had to be replaced.

Cam roller found to be split during routine belt replacement (earlier than recommended) This could have turned into a serious fault, £800 plus, if not discovered according to a mechanic.

R/OS electric window not working when purchased from used car dealer.

Worn bush on the front suspension, causing a clunk.

General Comments:

Space and extras (heated mirrors, multi-speed intermittent wipers, F/R fogs) etc.

Seat height and visibility good.

Looks good (IMHO)

Engine is a Vauxhall derivative and does not perform, very sluggish from junctions lights etc. maybe 1.6 too small for this weight.

Tax is high, but insurance is reasonable.

Fuel consumption neither good or excessive. I tend to make lots of short journeys.

At idle the engine is very quiet, but at speed it gets noisy.

Faults:

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.

Faults:

The Electronic Control Unit and other electrics failed at 22,000 miles and replacements had to be shipped from Korea. I was without the car for 3 months.

General Comments:

This car is probably the most useful and comfortable car I have owned. It is not built for speed, but it is practical and comfortable and I have been unable to find anything in the same price bracket to match it. Even after suffering major faults, which were all repaired free, I shall probably buy another.

Faults:

Soon after the car was delivered, we noticed that on first use on a cold morning, the indicators would not work. If the hazard lights were operated this corrected the fault. The cause was traced to a faulty relay which was supplied with the factory fitted tow bar. Having been changed, no further problems.

At approx 6000 miles a slight steering wheel wobble on braking, appears some Tacumas suffered this problem caused by a faulty batch of brake discs. Local dealer changed the front discs and pads immediately, and we have had had no further problems.

General Comments:

By far, this is the best vehicle we have owned and ideally suited to family use. Impressed with the comfort and all round vision.

Design of storage drawers and under floor compartments is very good and makes good use of the space.

Rear electrical jack plug and additional mobile phone sockets are useful.

Being able turn the front passenger seat around and the sliding centre seat doubling as a table is a bonus.

Looking forward to a diesel version.

Faults:

Dashboard has had rattle on and off for 6000 miles.

General Comments:

This is the company's best effort to date. The car is well designed, screwed together well and very reliable. The car handles very well and the 2.0 engine does a decent job of pushing it along.

The gear-change is light and easy to use, although the suspension is a little on the hard side, it helps keep any body roll in check.

The only major complaint I have is the quality of the interior plastics!!

And the problem with my dashboard.
