Nice, comfortable car

Handling a 1300 kg caravan very good.

Faults:

Car's pedals should be bigger. Too small for people with big feet to operate. tires should be 195/60/15 instead of 185/70/14.No body-kits to upgrade to. should have option for leather seats and cruise control. More soundproof should be added to the engine and side doors, because sometimes can smell the car's carbon monoxide coming in.

General Comments:

The car pickup is great.

Lot of space in cabin.

Seats are quite comfortable.

Able to carry big and long items.

Sound-system loud and good.

Gearstick get in gear without problem.

Storage area is very well design into the car.

Faults:

So far nothing has gone wrong with the car. Fuel meter was stuck, but after 2 full tanks it functioned properly.

Original Korean tires was a bit noisy, so changed to quieter Japanese tires.

General Comments:

Great for putting the whole family (3 adults and 3 kids) on a trip to a resort with 3 mountain bikes hanging on the back.

Fuel consumption could be better though, 11litres/100km, but to be expected for a car of this weight. As stable as a 2000 Honda Accord because of its weight.

Engine a bit rough though. It probably is due to the extra push needed for the heavy car.

Faults:

Right from the first day on, it often went dead when the engine was hot and running at low engine speed. Like for example when waiting at traffic lights. The dealer replaced some sensors. This didn't help. Then he replaced the CPU.

At 16.000 km the left front wheel bearing started to make a noise. It was replaced under warranty.

One week later I was back at the dealership because the right front electric window lifter engine broke. Replaced under warranty.

Fuel consumption is really high. About 12.5 liters/100km. And I'm not a sporty driver. I wrote a letter to Daewoo, they came for testing my car together with my dealer and their answer was that the consumption was normal.

Now the worst part. I bought the car in July last year and now it start to rust on two different places. At the trunk opening and at the top of the door opening. My dealer however is not willing to fix it and from Daewoo I don't get an answer.

General Comments:

This is the last Daewoo I will ever buy.

And I strongly advise other people to stay away from it.

I was warned by a friend who had an Espero, but I told him that the Tacuma was a next generation Daewoo. This is NOT so. The technology and quality are still at stone age levels.

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.
