Car reviews

The Tacuma has suffered from having its small advantage over is rivals slowly eroded as other manufacturers have increasingly improved their cars. When the Tacuma was launched in 2000 (as a Daewoo), it offered a three-year warranty, anti-lock brakes, driver and passenger airbags and three years' free servicing as standard. Late in 2000 the major manufacturers that weren't already offering a long-term warranty made their move, beginning with Ford, ABS was introduced as standard by all mainstream manufacturers on a voluntary basis from July 2004, while it is now rare to find any car that doesn't offer at least two airbags. Since 2005 the Tacuma has been sold as a Chevrolet, and in 2006 Chevrolet decided to abandon its free servicing deal in favour of a fixed-price servicing package. While the Tacuma is reasonably roomy and has individual folding rear seats, it looks out of date alongside most rivals.
