The main reason for DAEWOO’s lack of success was that it had neither great strengths nor great weaknesses. Even though vehicles made by the Korean manufacturer were dependable, they failed to attract much notice from potential buyers. Many models were among the best in terms of reliability statistics. After General Motors took over the brand in 2005, many of the models were sold under the CHEVROLET badge. However, the poor image, old technology as well as the high value loss of new vehicles did not contribute to a positive overall picture for customers. Good reasons for picking up a used model include the relatively low cost, the inexpensive maintenance and the comparably extensive basic equipment.
DAEWOO – typical repairs
With a few exceptions, the Korean group concentrated on producing vehicles for the small, compact and mid-class. Until it was rebadged as a CHEVROLET, the popular city car Matiz frequently needed repairing due to issues with the shift linkage, defective distributor caps, ignition coils, injection valves, and burnt-out cylinder head gaskets. The Kalos hatchback, produced until 2011, has some typical flaws, including worn-out axles, transmission problems and premature clutch wear. The Nubira has problems with the exhaust system, rear axle suspension, and drum brakes, as well as failure-prone indicators.
Undervalued DAEWOO models
The Lanos, first released in 1997, has hardly any weaknesses. With a little maintenance, it can be kept in great shape. The mid-sized saloon Espero can be found cheap on the used car market. It was produced until 1999. Its typical flaws are a defective water pump and cylinder head gaskets, as well as electrical issues. The Tacuma MPV makes an inexpensive family car. Before purchasing one, you should check its shock absorbers and springs. It has some issues with defects in the clutch sensor or the car battery.
