Chevrolet Lacetti Station Wagon (05-11) - Review

Review by David Ross on
The Lacetti was formerly badged as a Daewoo, although the Station Wagon version was never previously available. It actually makes more sense as a family work horse vehicle in estate guise. The driving experience is comfortable, the interior is durable and it has a decent load space. However it is dull to drive, not helped by the lifeless steering and the lack of a diesel engine in the line-up means it's not a god choice if you intend on covering large mileages. As a new buy it's not particularly cheap either.

Buying used

Buying a used Lacetti saloon will ensure you've missed out on the biggest part of depreciation, making this more attractive as a cheap and well equipped family runabout. Avoid the 1.6-litre or the 1.8-litre with the automatic gearbox - the best model is the 1.8 Sport.

Selling

The saloon is the least appealing version of the Lacetti and lacks the practicality of the hatchback or estate. A lack of awareness of the make and model will be another hurdle to overcome, but the decent levels of equipment should be a good selling point.
