Daewoo Nexia Hatchback 1.5 GLi 3d Auto (1999/S) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
I never expected air con in such a cheap car.
Costs
Car is ridiculously cheap; parts are OK; economy isn"t brilliant when you do a lot of motorway miles.

On the road
Driving
Nice roadholding but bland to drive.
Performance
Very slow pick-up on the automatic unless you thrash it around.

Living with it
Reliability
No minor problems, but had one major one.
Image
Zero image. Spent its life being mocked by my friends.
Comfort
Seats are OK; trim is bland; air con is fantastic in summer.

Security and Service
Security
I"m told it"s not good on security but part of its appeal is that nobody WANTS to steal it.
Service
Never dealt with them myself but garages have reported problems getting parts.
