Daewoo DRHT630

Test drive the Daewoo Tacuma

Advantages: CD Multichanger, acres of space
Disadvantages: High tax band, mpg

--Background-- We bought this car as a second car, two years ago. Previously, my wife had had the Daewoo Nexia for over 3 years with very little problems. We knew that Daewoo offered us no thrills but we also liked the smooth ride it gave. In the end we settled on a 51 reg CDX which set up back £4000. --From the outside-- For those of you that are not aware, the Tacuma is classed as an MPV. I would say the shape is now slightly dated and I would liken the shape to the Renault Scenic. This model comes with the roof bars as standard and alloy wheels. --From the drivers seat-- Road visibility is very good as you are higher up than a normal car. Saying that, I can not see the end of the bonnet from the drivers position. I am 5ft 10 so maybe someone significantly taller would not have a problem. The dashboard certainly ...

Review of Daewoo Tacuma

The leaking daewoo matiz

Advantages: Spacious
Disadvantages: It leaked rusty water, lost all power and had clunky gears

From personal experience with the Daewoo Matiz (w Reg) i would not recommend this car. I was insured on this car but it belonged to my brother, and it had faults since we bought it. Maybe it was due to the fact that the car was not new, but even after we carried out repairs on it, the problems remained the same. Our first problem with the car was the clunky gears, they were hard to move and often got stuck and made weird noises! It was annoying to say the least, but it was a problem my brother could just cope with considering it was low priced However, on the way to work one morning, on a 70mph dual carriageway, my brother was driving at 20mph and i told him to put his foot down, but he did, the car just had lost all of its power for no apparent reason. After calling the RAC, we were advised to take it to a garage for a look over ...

Review of Daewoo Matiz

Switz Swoooo with my Daewoo....

Advantages: Makes parking easy, FANTASTIC petrol consumption, Cheap on tax AND insurance, Great height inside, Large windscreen
Disadvantages: Noisy-ISH engine....erm thats it really!

Daewoo Matiz (1998 - 2005) Well its been a while but here we go, its time for yet again another review straight from the horses mouth (Note : Im not a horse lol) Well anyway, me being a first time driver, I wanted something that wouldnt have me out the door with payments for tax and insurance, didnt guzzle petrol like no tomorrow, and was CHEAP.....not to mention a steering wheel and set of four tyres to come in handy I guess... I first start looking at the nissan micra (no NOT that one, the ones from 00-03 that come equipped with power steering and airbags) but even at THAT I couldnt afford it.....not to mention the fact it reminded me of a BEETLE or some other insect of some sort. Then I seen it.... 2002 Sunburnt orange Small Cute and Perky Smiling (swear it does!) AND BEST OF ALL..... Didnt look as if it ...
