Daewoo Korando
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Well worth the money.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Two year's of use, and not much to speak of - other than fuel.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Generally good, but feels a bit of a heavy beast when weather is indifferent, and passengers need to 'hold on' round tight corners!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Bit thirsty. Nice quiet drive though.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Utterly reliable. Have never lifted bonnet, and yet it has never let me down.

    Image

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Here's the rub - looks like the car your 8 year old child would draw. Mine has been compared to a wheelie bin!

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Unexpectedly comfortable. Back seats feel like armchairs.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Almost 'over the top' - the immobiliser and alarm button routine, together with having to simultaneously depress the clutch is almost comparable to an Apollo launch sequence!

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Perception tainted by useless local dealer.
