Hi, I'm planning to buy a Daewoo Racer 2001. I'm from Pakistan. People here say strange things about the Daewoo Racer's fuel consumption, the availability of spare parts and resale etc. I need an expert opinion on whether should I buy this car or not? The price for the car is 3500$.

1993 Daewoo Racer 1.5i from Pakistan

Summary:

Much better than Suzuki

Faults:

Car's engine performance is superb. There is lots of noise inside the car while all the windows closed. Brakes performance are dead. Engine gives better shoot in starting, but at the speed of 120 km/h it seems as there is something missing or just there is no comfortability and at this speed brakes seem as not more than NONE. But no doubt car is much reliable as I normally change its oil over 10,000 km and this car never becomes hassle for me therefore I like it and still I keep it and I don't have any intention to sale it out.

1993 Daewoo Racer 1.5 cc from Pakistan

Summary:

A high performance bargain don't sell it

Faults:

The biggest problem with this car is its brakes which need repairing very frequently.

General Comments:

This car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails. It has a very powerful engine and just taking some little care of it make it a very good car. Its aircondintioner is really cool here in hot summer of lahore and its road grip is excellent. It works on both patrol and CNG very well just clean terminals of battery and earth regularly and change oil and filter this car will enjoy you.

1993 Daewoo Racer GSi 1.5 petrol from Singapore

Summary:

A very reliable workhorse at a bargain

Faults:

This is an update of my first review listed on Nov 1999. I have owned the same car for 3 years, this month.

Most of the repairs were done round about just after I purchased the car.

Steering bracket replaced at $300/-. This was the cause of the steering problem highlighted in my earlier review.

The air-conditioning system was replaced at $900/-. The air-con has been super cool since.

Alternator went bad at 145000km at a replacement cost of $150/-.

Clutch needed some work on it at 155000km at a cost of $200/-. It has felt much lighter since.

That's about all, I guess. Servicing was done every 10000km, without fail. This probably accounts for the reliability I have experienced.

General Comments:

The car is now nearing the end of its lifespan (as far as the local context/regulations are concerned), it is almost 10 years old.

I have 2 months to drive it before it is due to be scrapped.

It has been great. Generally, the car has served me very well. Its huge boot has seen tons of groceries, materials and equipment (i am a site engineer). There have not been any major breakdowns. It basically gets me from point A to B without fail, everyday, although performance is nothing to brag about.

I have heard of tales of Daewoos failing, but either I am lucky, or I have maintained after mine well (which I doubt).

Although I am looking forward to getting a new car, I will never forget the comforting feeling I get everyday before I start the car.

The new Integra sure looks good...
