Why choose Daewoo? Our Renault Clio had reached the stage at five years old where fault after fault developed. We needed (a) a slightly bigger car as it is our only one and our childen are bigger (b) to control our motoring costs and (c) to deal with an honest and reliable garage. All three considerations were met in full and we have a gutsy car to boot - the bhp compares favourably with the Ford XR3 as was (only things missing are the go faster stripes!!!) The air condition fitted as standard was a (literally) refreshing surprise!

The only motoring costs for the first three years are tyres! Everything - servicing, parts, labour and even the full RAC cover are provided. When work is required, if Daewoo are given advance warning or if an urgent problem has developed, they will provide a loan car. (The onus is on you to request this).

What makes Daewoo different? Dealing direct with the manufacturer means no garage blues!!! We all know of disreputable dealers - every manufacturer has them. (A Citroen garage recently charged £700 to a work colleague for a £65 job!) Daewoo's standards are high and all their outlets behave in an identical, honest fashion.

Recent financial troubles have hit Daewoo. However, the garage here in West Sussex assures me that the 3 year service and warranty cover is being honoured and is still being offered on all new Daewoos. They face an uncertain future but their staff are confident that Daewoo have made such an impact in the European market that they will be bought by someone!!!

We are very pleased with the car!
