Daewoo Lacetti (04-05) - Review

Review by Parkers on
The exotic sounding Lacetti looks attractive - that's mainly due to the input of the famous styling house Italdesign. It is a medium-sized hatchback with a value for money proposition to win over buyers. It's no class leader, but does drive quite nicely and Daewoo's peace of mind package includes free servicing for three years. Definitely worth a look if you aren't passionate about your cars.

Comfort

Interior space is generally good all round with particularly impressive rear legroom - often the first place to feel the pinch. Good space for the front passenger, with plenty of head and legroom. Seats are quite soft and we would prefer a little more support if undertaking a long trip.

Practicality

The boot is a reasonable size, with the added versatility of split/folding rear seats should you wish to carry larger items. 1.6 and 1.8 versions have a few extra interior storage features over the 1.4 version; sunglasses holder in lieu of driver's grabhandle is particularly useful.

Behind the wheel

The interior ambience is modern and even manages to display a little creativity as long as you accept the limitations of budget on the materials used. Visibility is fine from the driver's seat and there's a range of possible adjustments for achieve a suitable driving position.
