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.

Reliability

The mechanicals are fairly robust and shouldn't give much cause for concern as long as the servicing schedule has been adhered to. There aren't much in the way of sophisticated electronics, which means few worries on electrical glitches too.
