Strength:

You can drive the crap out of it!

Weakness:

No prophanity, so I take the 5th!

I wish I could junk the car. Cannot get parts. Still have to pay that monthly bill! It is not fair what Daewoo did to their customers. I believe that Daewoo knew they were going to file Chapter 11 and the top executives pocketed the money!

dae woo dead

Strength:

good tunes.. until they blew

Weakness:

no info, no parts availble, no one to biotch to at the factory.

I was insane that i saw the Daewoo!!! Traded a SUV that ran like crap but IT always started!!!!! I fell in love with the mileage, color and options it had to offer! I hate it now!!! Timing belt, ideler tensioner and brakes. That is of course if i can find the parts!!!! There should be a pile of dead woos out there all with the same parts out of it. Cant find any information in any way on inter net or libraries... I should be the dae woo mechanic and never be bored again!!

Strength:

Decent gas mileage, very nice looking. Spacious trunk and interior, well placed knobs and controls. Comfortable seats...good for long rides, and low noise on the inside. Lots of options if you are one to "accessorize" a car to fit your personal style with rims, tint, detailing, etc.

Weakness:

Paint job is not the best. They must have skimped on the clear coat. Door handles on the front doors tend to peel (but they replace these at the dealership with no hassle). Tires/Rims are poor. Cause a bad vibration at the front end. Suggestion...wider rims and a good low to high end speed range alignment. Cupholders...everyone has a sense of humor. And the horn...a bit embarrasing. The Roadrunner "meep meep" is louder. Company relations are unsteady. Will I be able to get my Woo serviced in the future...who knows!!

I love my Nubie (as I've affectionately named her). I've gotten plenty of compliments on the style of the car,even though people are not familiar with the name. If you're willing to take a chance, this is a good chance to take. Bear in mind all vehicle manufacturers have to start somewhere, but Daewoo is off to a "fair to middling" start.

Strength:

Lots of power, Looks, Quality, Name.

Weakness:

Paint is poor quality

This is one of the best cars I have ever owned. The quailty of this car is unbelivabe for its price. It has the look of a expensive european car. It has every option that cars costing twice its price have.

Model Reviewed: Nubira

Strength:

decent p/u (by using the power button) - easy dash controls - latch system for car seats - air bags - nice stereo - small enough you can reach across the entire car for emergencies - seats have great adjustment variations

Weakness:

a/c is hard to keep a consistent temp - horn sounds like a toy (I hid my face in shame yesterday using it for the first time)- cup holders aren't very realistic - cheap carpeting & seat covers - paint chipped already on the door lock - tiny scratches already visible from just 3 washes

I bought this car on the same day my Husband wrecked my '93 Cougar. I LOVED THAT CAR! But,it was the first car I had ever purchased used so it seemed like it had cancer and everything was falling apart. The Nubira was much smaller and sportier and was set at a wonderul low cost. I liked the way it drove and putting 45miles each way on a commute I definitely enjoyed the comfort.

Strength:

None

Weakness:

The entire car is a piece of crap.

Horroble, I got ripped off. The timing belt broke and parts can't be found to fix it. The car was fine for a few months and then it fell apart. I can't keep tires on it, the ABS system failed immediately, and it is full of shakes and rattles. I owe nothing on the car but the repair to the car will make up for the saved money. Never will I buy another one and I discourage anyone else from buying anything Daewoo makes.

Model Reviewed: Nubira

Strength:

1. fast & zippy 2. looks great (looks like a high dollar BMW 3. Neat head lights 4. Good gas milage. Averaged 33 mpg in the Black Hills of South Dakota 5. Comfortable

Weakness:

1. Can't get parts 2. If I can't hear the horn, doubt anyone else can 3. Cheap door handles on inside 4. Dust/dirt collects in the door wells after a short distance of gravel roads

I bought the car new, and after 11 months, I can honestly say it has spent as much time in the service garage as it has in my garage. Would probably be in the repair shop more often if it didn't take so long to get parts. Replaced the door handles (after a very deep cut to my finger), replaced the dash, replaced molding. Two times lost oil due to bad gasket on the drain plug. Now I have to put another 200 miles on it, so the service men can find out where my anti-freeze is going. After getting my notifacation of Daewoo going bankrupt, I called the dealer and they are standing behind the warranty. Just yesterday I got a safety recall: Nubira Front Brake Hose Replacement(noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard) Hope they can resolve this problem when I take it back for the anti-freeze problem. This car is the new version of the Edsel. Should not have bought. Should have paid for a new paint job on my Chevy Corsica that is still going strong with over 100k on the odometer. Thank goodness, as I had to use it when the heater went out on the Nubira.
