Advantages: Great value for money, reliable, looks good, very safe car, loads of gizmos Disadvantages: no rear wash/wipe, no MP3 dock, not brill on MPG, expensive parts
the day - actually they seem to get dimmer at night when you put the headlights on. Hmm..
You can press the remote control thing twice and it double locks if you are outside the car (not if you are inside so the emergency services can get in more easily in a crash, apparently), child locks, and remote transponder key fob thingy.
The bad things are the road noise is quite bad on some surfaces and the ride can be less than smooth at times. It doesn't exactly roar away at the lights with having only a 1.8 engine. Mind my last car had a 3 litre engine so I did notice the difference. It has a turbo thingy which gives it a bit of welly when you overtake on a motorway.
It is a bit thirsty on the old petrol, being an automatic - it does about 25-30 MPG for me in town, about 35 if I'm on a motorway all tank, unless it's very uphill, when it ...
Advantages: It looks ok Disadvantages: MPG, Jerky, Will it work tomorrow?
The first thing I saw when I typed in Lacetti was 'Do you own this car?'
The answer would be, that I had the very bad misfortune of owning one for a very short time and I will never be owning one again - nor will any family or friends if I've got anything to do with.
So where do I start?
At the beginning I think..... It was last October and I was due to have our first child in January. I had a Peuguot 106 3 door and figured it would be too small and awkward to get a baby, car seat, pushchair and occasionally, passengers in. So off we went to a 'national dealer' to look at 5 door, more family orientated cars. We had a budget in mind of around £5k. After looking around the many cars on the forecourt we stumbled across a beauty, a bargain and a newer car than we imagined we would get for our money. Meet the Daewoo Lacetti, 05 plate ...
Advantages: good looks, value for money, space. Disadvantages: could have better radio/CD
I recently bought the Lacetti Sx Station Wagon. Conclusions? Excellent value for money with the right deal, drives well, good riding position, comfortable. The fully adjustable steering wheel, with both up/down and reach adjustment made finding a good driving position easy. The passenger compartment is fairly well insulated too from noise. Not had it to long to comment on Petrol Consumption, but from use so far, seems about the same as the Picasso I had before, or slightly better.The Station Wagon has plenty of load area in the back, in fact larger in floor area than the Citreon Picasso I had before. It comes with both a cargo net and a load guard that extends up to the roof if needed. Would I recommend it or buy another one. Yes, definitely, my only complaint is that the supplied Blaupunkt CD/Radio doesn't play MP3's without getting ...
