Daewoo Cielo FAQs

What to do with a daewoo

THOUGH I have reservations about Daewoos of the past, the decision you make should hinge on your car's reliability record. You seem to have looked after it and had it regularly serviced, which is the key to keeping cars going well, so I would be inclined to keep it.

That's quite a run of misfortune and your message is fair. As I wrote in my review of the Daewoo 1.5i, buying an early Daewoo, whether new or secondhand, is a gamble. They were poorly built and the ancillaries were unreliable and of poor quality. But the Holden-built four-cylinder engine was generally reliable, despite your bad experience. Remember, you get what you pay for. The cheap and cheerful Daewoo was designed to be thrown away relatively quickly.
