Daewoo Nexia

...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 ...
...driving in, not sure why Daewoo decided to put that feature in but its still a nice touch. Boot space is large enough to fit all your weekly shopping in and more besides, drivers and front passengers legroom are more than ample but rear legroom is a tad short, like with all cars you can pull the front seats forward to increase rear legroom so im perhaps being slighlty over critical in this area but i felt i should mention it nonetheless. The car ...

Review of Daewoo Nexia

...not enough nexias about apparently! Daewoo do offer the technical service manual but it costs £120 !!! A bit much but would be very useful. If anyone has one they could let me copy I'd pay you a fair fee!!! Servicing is now done via vauxhall so not too many problems there. Parts are usually available as they are based on an old astra model. Cosmetics are a little more difficult to come by. All in all a good solid car that is actually quite quick ...
...definietly the ones to go for. Get one with good service history and under 40k and you'll have a reliable, fully featured car for under £1500. They are usually totally rust free to which is a major bonus. they have all the perks as mentioned above and are generally nice to drive. If you can pick a decent one up and give it a loving home, you'll be very happy! ...

Review of Daewoo Nexia

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 ...
...the car for 1 year the sunroof stopped working when it was opened,s o we had to manually close it by a key. Then the alarm began to go off when it pleased itself, both problems were fixed but continued to happen three new alars later and now the sunroof refused to open or shut we gave up having them fixed after the three year warranty had run out. As the car got a bit older it began to break down, for no apperent reason it would just stop (not good ...

Review of Daewoo Nexia

...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.

Review of Daewoo Nexia

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 ...
...been told to scrap the car, she called Daewoo, thier response was that it was out of warranty and told her to go away, the car has only done 18'000 miles, most people would do that in 14 months or so. After this we have spoken to numerous people all of whom have bought cars from Daewoo, they too have been told to go away, even the people who's vehicles are still under warranty. A little advice, DO NOT BUY DAEWOO, go and read a few more opinions ...

Review of Daewoo Nexia

I happen to own this car (the GLE) and I can say i'm fairly pleased with it. As i'm from Romania, it cannot be said that it's the same as UK :)). I spent 3900 EUR on it (second hand) and then i did some minor repairs to it for about 400 EUR. It's smooth when you want it and if you hit the gas it makes a nice noise for its 4 cylinders. The interior gives you a cheap feeling and it's not too spacious. The steering wheel is too low and you hit your ...
...1,5 L petrol version and it EATS the fuel, about 10L/100km urban (that's 23,67 mpg) which is a lot for 4 cyl, 1,5 L. The ride is fairly confortable, but the steering and the gearbox are a bit heavy. For your safety you get no more than the seatbelts. Other features include electrical windows, power steering (hardly), air conditioned and that's about it. It's known to have some problems with the brake pump after a while. Overall it a reasonably priced ...

Review of Daewoo Nexia

...is that the prices of Daewoo parts are appalling. The back box on my exhust went at the same time as my dad's (who has a Rover). His cost him £50 to replace and he took it to the nearest garage. Mine cost me £180 and the only place that would touch it was a Daewoo garage. That's something they don't tell you about Daewoos - try taking them to any garage other than a Daewoo dealer and you'll quickly find no one will touch them. I don't blame them ...

Review of Daewoo Nexia

...and my husband purchased our Daewoo from a friendly Daewoo Garage. Our main intentions for buying this vehicle was that the boot capacity seemed quite large and we planned to have a family and wanted a family car. Its deffinately not a family car, the back seat area is too cramped for passengers and the boot space fits my sons buggy and thats it - I am in trouble when I go shopping!!! It has been a very reliable car for us and has never failed ...

Review of Daewoo Nexia

I own a N reg Daewoo Nexia 1.5Gli, its not a bad car, but i find it expensive when something goes wrong as i have to put it in the garage. If there was a workshop manual i could do the work myself as i am capable of doing the work myself. The only workshop manual you can get for the car is the mechanics version, priced at £150. I also find it hard to get parts due to there not being many scrap nexia's around,so i have to go through a dealer. My ...
...have to get a new exhaust. Its not needed much work done to it since first registered,so there isnt much wrong with owning the Nexia.Performance isnt bad,i have heard so many comments about it not cornering very well or slow top speed, but i havent had any problems in that area. The car will hit 70mph easy enough and a little more where needed. Fuel consumption is pretty good, i get 40-45mpg, this is only short journeys to work n back, and maybe ...
