Daewoo Leganza 2.0 CDX 4d (00) (2001/X) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
You get a hell of a lot of car for the money. All leather interior, 10-CD multichanger, air con, sat-nav... a lot more than you would expect from a car this expensive.
Costs
Insurance is pretty high, but this is a big car. A bit of a gas guzzler as well.

On the road
Driving
Beautiful, just purrs along. Eats up motorway miles for breakfast. Not the most exciting drive, but still gets the job done in style. Gear change smoother than a buttered otter.
Performance
Fantastic. Roars up the motorway leaving BMWs in its wake.

Living with it
Reliability
The big weakness. I've had a lot of problems with this car.
Image
It's a Daewoo. 'Nuff said. Though if you're not snobby about the badge, the car itself looks beautiful.
Comfort
Very comfortable, easily comparable to more expensive saloons.
-
Security and Service
Security
Fitted security is ok, but it's the fact that the car is worth about 50p second hand that's the best security - no-one would want to nick it.
Service
An utter disaster since Daewoo was bought by GM, who seem to know absolutely nothing about how the older Daewoos actually work. Had to go back to the garage four times for the same problem, making them either incompetents or liars.
