Car shakes bad from the motor not running right.
All shocks have gone.
Plastics falling apart.
Interior light does not work - bulb replaced.

General Comments:
This car, being a Daewoo, is not a very good car.
Practical, and it had great room and storage, and the boot is good.
The aircon is just great now, but it has had its guts replaced to get it going.
Plastics inside the car are rubbing and causing squeaks and other noises.
The car is comfortable, seats are great, driver's position is fantastic, all button's in reach of driver.
The sound system is stuffed big time, no point to fix it LOL.
Shocks went after 3 years, and Holden would not fix it.
It always starts, and we service it well, but the motor is very rough. I actually think it is going to blow up soon.
The box is chunky and does not like to skip gears.
It is gutless, and I wish I had never brought it.
My friend has the Daewoo version of this car, and hers has been good to her. My sister has the same car as me, but an auto, but nothing but problems.
If you have to have a Viva, get the Daewoo version of it, because the Holden model is just rubbish.

I had a CD get jammed in my Viva's CD player. I held down the eject button for about 10-20 seconds and it forced the ejection of the CD. Just thought people might like to know.
