Model Reviewed: Daewoo, Laganza

Strength:

none (i guess it looks nice besides the chiping on outside)

Weakness:

several: brakes, warning lights, paint job, gear control, brake switch, interior, and more......

I've had several problems with this car..no warning about the breaks going out. They wore to the pad and was a little hard to find somewhere to get it repared. Paint job is horrible chips easily...needs an extra clear coat on it... Tweaters at in the front of the car make an annoying sound. The worst problem with the car is that i have a constant problem with the break switch all three break lights go off from time to time...happens pretty often now i've tried replacing it but it seems to keep bending out of place. The shift seems to get stuck sometimes you have to make sure you click it in place... When i put the key in the ignition it gets stuck sometimes, or it won't turn when i try to cut the car on. The engine light is on and there is nothing that needs to be fixed. (?) The dash board popped off right after i bought the vehicle which i had to fix myself because of the warranty/bankr issue. Where the fabric needs to be connected it is coming off on both sunvisers (which by the way is never touched)and in the back seat where you pull it down to get in the truck. i mean there are several things wrong with my Laganza most is not caused by me...too many problems with this car for it just to have one owner! IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT BUYING A DAEWOO DO NOT DO IT!

No strenghts

Weakness:

The lifespan of the car is less than three years. Hard to get parts. A waste of money.

I've had this car for about three years. The car ran great the first two years. Then I found out the company went bankrupt.All warranties have expired. My timing belt broke and I had to spend almost 3,000.00 for a new engine, two months in the repair shop because parts are not easy to get and are a little bit higher than the norm. My water pump went out about two weeks ago and now once again the car is sitting in the repair shop.I've spent more than 3,500.00 on rental cars. I can not get rid of this car because the trade in value is practically 0 and I still owe money to the finance company. This is probable the worst car experience I've ever had. I can not believe they are still selling these cars.It should be against the law to sell a car and not have parts available when the car breaks down.

Strength:

Good Gas Milage, Excellent leg length in the drivers seat, and it looks nice too.

Weakness:

Radios are terrible, paint scratches to easy, had to replace entire engine due to timing belt breaking, no local service, parts are hard to find for normal oil changes and such, and the 24 hour towing service is no longer 24 hours it is leave a message!

Ok at first my Daewoo had awesome perks! Then the company goes bankrupt and you lose everything! But other than that I've had my stereo replaced 2 times, and a whole new engine put in. At 44,000 miles my timing belt broke and tore up the entire engine. Since the company has gone bankrupt I had to pay for towing and no rental vehicle for the month it was at the repair shop. We had to tow our vehicle 90 miles to the nearest Daewoo repair service. I was extremely thankful it was covered under the powertrain warrenty! Oh and my passenger window makes a terrible cranking noise when it goes up and down. 100 miles over on that limited warrenty! But overall it is a fun car to drive. I like the way it just zips right along. Although, shorting I will be trading it in for a american car.

RESE

Strength:

-STYLE IS EXCELLENT -LOVES THE FEATURES- SUNROOF,LEATHER,FOG-LIGHTS,POWER EVERYTHING -GREAT ON GAS -LOW PRICE -FULL-SIZE SPARE TIRE

Weakness:

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH GETTING PARTS OR REPAIR DONE. RIGHT NOW NO MAJOR, VERY LITTLE MINOR PROBLEMS.

I'VE HAD MY DAEWOO FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. OVERALL I LIKE IT. IT'S STYLISH(INTERIOR& EXTERIOR). HAS BEEN MISTAKEN FOR EXPENSIVE LUXURY CARS(MAINLY LEXUS-SOMETIMES BENZ). ONLY PROBLEM I'VE HAD IS ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THE ROTORS A MADE OF LOW-COMPOSITE METAL(WHICH MEANS IT'S KINDA SOFTER METAL)SO THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALSO MY TIMING BELT WENT OUT, BUT THAT WAS MY FAULT. TIMING BELT SHOULD BE CHANGED AT EVERY 60,000 MILES. IT HAD 69,000 WHEN IT WENT OUT. CAN'T BLAME THE CAR. OTHER THAN THAT EVERYTHINGS GREAT.

Strength:

Looks, dependable, gas mileage.

Weakness:

Cup holder too small Parts??? I don't know, haven't had to deal with it yet.

This car is great! To date (17 months old), not one problem....Not one! Great gas mileage. Corners fast and smooth. Gets up and goes. No other car with all these bells & whistles even comes close to the price you can get on this. Try it, you'll like it!

Styling. Looks pretty good for a cheap car. Ergonomics are excellent too.

Weakness:

Parts availablity ? The interior seems cheap but I expect to much.

Well a friend just bought a new 2002 Laganza SE for 7700 out the door ! 82 miles. The dealer really wanted to move these out. I must say it's a great car for the money.

Strength:

Very easy to parallel park, turns corners quite well, has great get up and go. The seats are comfortable the sound system is excellent! Everyone I've showed off my car "Daisy" to says she's "Beautiful!"

Weakness:

I can't find any touch up paint for her at all. I've looked all over Washington state and have even tried to have body shops mix some up for me and they can't do it.

I just love to drive this car. It handles very well and is easy to shift gears. All the instrument gauges are in the right place. The ash tray is easy to reach out to, even for a short person. A lot of people look at the car when I drive by and smile at the car.
