    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Alarm OK - optional extra though.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    This is my second Daewoo; aftersales service has rapidly deteriorated over the years. Non-service items take months to arrive and staff are ignorant and rude. Expect to pay for insurance for courtesy car.
