Daewoo Leganza 2.0 CDX 4d Auto (97) (1997/R) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Good value as a second hand car, provided it's looked after.
Costs
Fuel costs are medium/high, but to be expected.
-
On the road
Driving
Always good to drive. Very smooth and quiet, you need the stereo on to stay awake.
Performance
For the amount of fuel it uses I would have expected a bit more poke out of the engine. Nevertheless, still enough to overtake without feeling like a Sunday driver.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable.
Image
Obviously not that popular, and sometimes get that 'Cheap-Foreign-import' feel about it. But it's got good styling and luxurious interior that puts better known manufacturors to shame.
Comfort
Comfort is good as a driver, passenger comfort is sub-standard on long journeys.
-
Security and Service
Security
One of the best security packs as standard, including immobiliser and interior sensor. Daewoo should be proud of that one.
Service
No service received, although Daewoo are no help anyway.
