the great leganza

[johnny]

As much as I like to poke fun at Daewoo. I've got to hand it to them. They make nice affordable cars with great company maintence plans. My buddy phily can vouch for this. He got his car really cheap! I really like the interior of this car, too. I'm just trying to represent the Daewoo crowd up in here!

To me, the lanos looks like some european rally car (anyone know what I mean). But, I wouldn't buy one.

Edit: Ahhh... the infamous Daewoo testing grounds.

Does anyone have a Leganza in AF?!

[fortyoz2eric]

i don't think people that own daewoo's are too big into cars

[1989 DX R]

probably not

[NSX]

are there even any daewoo enthusiasts here?

[Banzai]

I think Hyundai, Daewoo and Kia will do what the Japs managed to do back in the 70's - create cars that are good enough to challenge the best from Europe. Just give the Koreans time and they'll be up there one day.

I'm a Daewoo enthusiast NOT because of their stupid performance, but because of the styling of some of their cars. The Leganza looks great, the Joyster is funky, the Kalos is stylish, the Bucrane is the best looking Asian sports car and the Shiraz is more elegant than any other Lexus', Acura's or Infinitis. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Jap-hater. In fact, I admire the Japs more than Korea. But I'm just pointing out that the Koreans will be where the Japs are.

Of course!
I wasn´t an enthusiast until I owned one and realized I was wrong about koreans (I think just Daewoo) and now, 4 years later, the only problem I had was a little noise/vibration coming from the front door some weeks ago and got it fixed by the dealer. Maintenaince is sooo cheap! I´m really glad I have it, it´s fun and nicely loaded.
I´d like to get the Leganza but here is a bit more expensive, damn they still don´t offer a V6 in it! Anywise the brand is quite popular.

My mom has one, they have NO pickup and NO top speed, but they are a very nice looking car.. design and style is very luxurious, but the engine is trash. Swap it with a VTEC v6 and turbo it, then you have yourself a nice ride, for a 50 year old! hehe

[Phily]

hehe what's up guys
i can see my friend Johnny posted here

well my parents have a leganza
cause i went on this daewoo trip to korea about 2 years ago.
in return for going on that trip the company gave these college students a 50% dsicount for buying these cars.

So i got a fully loaded leganza for only 11 grand
I'd have to say its pretty nice. Its like an accord with a 4 banger.

Apparently, daewoo's have something called Dtec just like the Vtec in hondas. Obviously not as powerful, but it does its job.

Would i personly get one? of course not, but if i'm on a tight budget and i need a economical and practical car then daewoo is the way to go.

[MaximusGTR]

Dare I ask this question, but do they make any CAI for any model DAEwoo?

[edonis]

Im not prejudice Daewoo, I've lived in Korea for eight years, so I've sat in one a dozen times (actually, I think more) but never droven one, although I don't really think they're driver-cars. Cheapo materials and quality interior lets down otherwise OK design. More exciting than most Japanese cars though. Cheaper, even! But I wouldn't buy one.. I'd keep saving for a european car...
