Daewoo Nexia

Im the proud owner of a 1997 (P reg) Daewoo Nexia 1.5 GLXi Automatic in beautiful British racing green. Firstly i would really like to mention the features that this car came with... ABS (Anti lock brakes) Drivers air bag PAS (Power assisted steeing) Air conditioning Adjustable steering wheel position Electric windows Central locking CD player Thats not a bad starting spec now is it? Well its all well and good having all those mod cons but does the car drive well, maintain well and is it good on fuel? Well yes to 2 of those, the car is an absolute dream to drive with its incredibly light ... more

Well I have to say I love my nexia to bits. Also mine doesn't look as drab because I have a fitted rear spoiler and mine came with matallic racing green, which does help its image crisis somewhat! Kinda looks like a subaru actually but definitely doesn't look as drab as the 95 hatchbacks. OK to the nitty gritty. I can only speak about my car, which has done 33k and is 97' (R reg) and a glxi saloon not the hatch back. Reliability has been superb. Unfortunately my radio/extening aerial has just failed, but I think it's something to do with the crazy amounts of rain we've had in the last few ... more

Thought we were getting a great deal on our N reg car bought in 1995, cost £9,899 with optional extras ( electric sunroof and alarm ). We had the 1.5gli saloon as it accomodated my families needs. Standard fittings included a ski hatch ( avid ski family we are not!) but not interior clock. Very basic interior but a relativley comfortable ride. Car came with three years service warranty and the work had to be carried out at a Halfords service center (nearest local 30 miles away). THE TROUBLE BEGINS After having the car for 1 year the sunroof stopped working when it was opened,s o we had to ... more

In Septemder 1996 I bought a nexia gli from the daewoo dealers in Telford what a huge mistake that was,I am disabeld so my car is very important to me, i had heard that the daewoo was a good buy and that you get a lot for your money. My advise would be to any potential Purchaser would be DONT BUY IT. The sales people were very good and did a very through Job,ie 3yrs free servicing 3yrs free aa cover. The car is quite comfortable to drive. not very good on petrol consumption,5000 miles I needed new tyres, 15000 a new exhaust,regular servicing did not prove very good at all ,the helfulness from ... more

My mother bought a Daewoo, mores to the pity, she has done 18000 miles in her daewoo, she bought it from new, it's 12 months out of the warranty period and the crank shaft is shot, the head gasket has blown and numerous other major problems. The car has only ever been serviced by Daewoo, when the engine management light came on, mother took the car to Daewoo, they said it was nothing to worry about, huh what did they know, they didn't investigate they just turned the light off. My mother has been told to scrap the car, she called Daewoo, thier response was that it was out of warranty and told ... more
