1996 Daewoo Espero GLX 2.0 from Trinidad and Tobago

Summary:

A disappointing investment

Faults:

Alternator problems from day one, company always promises to repair.

Parts of the car just dropping off or breaking off even though usually I alone use the car viz: stone shield, door handles, parts of seat belt mechanism, screws from the steering wheel, the rear view mirrors, passenger seat etc.

Dealer out of stock with replacement parts and couldn't care less.

Failure to contact car owners when the engineers visited the country despite the fact that they have all contact information on the owners.

General Comments:

I believe that despite the manufacturer's defects, a more efficient dealer service would have gone a long way in alleviating the concerns and trauma of the car owners.
