Economy
Value
From new all korean cars depreciate heavily, but get one for under £2k and it is excellent value.
Costs
Fuel and maintenance are good.

On the road
Driving
This was my first car but having also driven a recent renault clio, renault laguna and various fords, this car is very responsive with its 1.5 twin cam engine, acceleration is excellent and steering is responsive
Performance
Again acceleration is excellent. Top speed over 110mph and it gets there quickly. Good on motorways and in the street. Veyr purky.

Living with it
Reliability
Above average. nothing major happened to mine and nothing very costly. Starts very well even in the cold.
Image
Not the best. Ive added a rear spoiler and 15inch alloys to mine and they have helped a great deal. But for a cheap, possibly first car you don't need a ferrari
Comfort
Best car I've ever driven in. Seats are angled well, not too soft and not too hard. Adjustable driving position is very useful. Great for long journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser as standard, no alarm. But who would want to steal one?
Service
Dont go through Daewoo (now chrysler) dealers as they charge a fortune for parts. Parts are readily available through most high street car dealers especially those dealing with Jap and Asian cars.
