- Daewoo Leganza CDX
Strength:
Awesome sound system. Power everything. Lots of room and very stylish. I was extremely impressed with the inside detailing.
Weakness:
All the reviews I read said it was great on gas, however, mine is really bad. It could be because I purchased it with only 43 miles on it and only have 1400 on it right now, so I shall wait and see. That is about the only thing and it may in fact not even be a weakness. I do have to agree that the keyless trunk opening would be a great thing to have on future models too. To be honest, I was not looking for this car when I went to trade in my vehicle. I was actually looking for a Plymouth Voyager, but it was more then I wanted to spend. Our salesman recommended this car and my husband and I were very leary until we looked at it. To us it seemed comparable to the Ford Taurus with the side impact bars and all, but I think it blows the Ford Taurus away. The standard features alone are well worth the price you pay for this car. I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a new car. Everyone who has seen it, or driven it is heavily considering buying one as soon as they can get out of their current cars. Similar Products Used: These are not exactly similar but what I have driven in the past are: 1994 - Ford Escort LX 1999 - Chevrolet Cavalier 1999 - Jeep Cherokee Sport 2000 - Ford F-150 I love my Leganza the best out |

Great Styling, Engine strength and did I say style? Body syle looks even better with some custom work. (whispering)Hey I even heard that its beat some Honda Civics racing.~
Weakness:
Small cup holders (but who cares) That damn fuse box cover!(Grrrrrr) A little too much rattling with the $2000 sound system (nothing a little tweaking wont help I have the Leganza SE and I can''t seem to say enough about this car but, I love it! I''ve had no engine problems and I''m going on two years now. The styling speaks for itself and it has more than enough room for me and my family. The power that the small engine pushes out was astonishing compared to other 4 cyl. engines. I had to rent a car when some idiot clipped my front end(may he burn in hell). The 01'' Chevy Lumina made me appreciate my car more. Don''t American carmakers have any taste for style under $25,000? I''ve even noticed how much better the interior looks better than some luxury cars...see for yourself...compare! Similar Products Used: 93'' Honda Civic (over rated) 2001 Chevy Lumina V-6 (too sluggish and no interior styling and whats with the sound system? |

Great ride, comfy seats, looks good and sounds good.
Weakness:
I haven''t noticed anything except the small cup holders, but I''ll get along. I love this car! I looked at several types and took my time and ended up with this beautiful car. It has everything I wanted and more and is as comfortable as my husband''s Cadillac. Similar Products Used: None |

Leganza SE
Strength:
It has plenty of power. I think the ones who say it doesn''t like to drive too fast...It''s good lookin!!! Comfy, plenty of room. Stereo, All the bells & whistles you want.
Weakness:
None that I can find!!! The drink holders don''t seem to small to me unless you are putting a coffee mug in them or something extra large like that. This car is BY FAR the best deal for the money. It''s loaded with CD and tape deck, fog lights, heated outside mirrors, the doors will not lock if the key is in the ignition, security alarm, the seats are unusually comfy. The engine is engineered by the same man who engineered BMW''s engine (and it feels like one). The suspension is by LOTUS. It will not go into gear unless your foot is on the brake. The stereo is great!!! I could go on and on but go drive one yourself. You will be impressed. I found this site and immediately knocked 5 other cars off my list because of the same problems over and over again in the reviews. I had never even heard of Daewoo and because of this site, I test drove it and without spending a WHOLE LOT MORE, you cannot beat it!!!!! 5 year warranty, power everything. WAKE UP AMERICAN CAR MANUFACTURERS!!!! When Americans find out about this car you can kiss yours goodbye. Similar Products Used: Pontiac Grand Prix LE....Was a uhnk of junk from the beginning!!!!! |

Strength:
Very ecconomical, handles great, feeling of having full control.
Weakness:
Resetting the hand brake when brakes are replaced. Great on gas, however, when your car needs parts, be prepared to wait a month or more to get them. If your timing belt breaks be prepared to py 1600.00 plus for bent valves etc... Parts have to be manufactured as needed basis. I''''m still waiting for stretch bolts to be manufactured, since 1/9/02. Today is 2/6/02. Similar Products Used: Honda Civic |

Style, comfort, gas mileage and reliability. We love our Daewoo; we have owned Fords, Dodges, Subarus and Isuzu, but nothing comes close to the Daewoo in comfort, reliability and style. When can we expect a mini-van? Similar Products Used: Ford, Dodge, Subaru, Isuzu |

Strength:
Price for the comfort offerd. Good handling. In the city I use the power ON and this gives the car a kik. The cost is some extra gas but who cares when you compare with any SUV guzzler!
Weakness:
At very low temperatures say -20 C the de-foggig works really hard. When inside the only way to lock doors is the remote lock. Not a really good solution. The best car money can buy for the price. I like the way it handles, it is responsive and has lot of power for a 4 cylinder toy. The lenght of standard features is impressige and ALL are working good. I am happy with it. Similar Products Used: Did drive a top line 2000 cc Corolla in Thailand. Less luxurious but more powerfull (5speed manual) Rented Pintiac Sunfire, Grand AM, Neon. Can not compare |

Strength:
Easy handling, good mileage per gallon, strong power on the highway, and price.
Weakness:
I do not see any weakness. I am very much satisfied with this car. I have had about 10K miles on the car, and do not have any problems so far. Last week I have driven from PA to FL for my trip, about more than 3000 miles for round trip. My Leganza was never shaking between 95-10 on the highway. It was very stable in handling at that speed, and the gravity of the car was lowering. It was passing other expensive cars without extra efforts. The mileage of Leganza was 30/gallon with 4 people and fully packed trunk. That means I may get 32/gallon on the highway if I drive alone Similar Products Used: Mazda 626, Toyota Camry, Honda Civic |

Strength:
Strenghts are: the sound system and CD changer, looks, smooth ride, cold aircondition, and all the digital stuff.
Weakness:
None. Who cares about the cup size, I don''t eat in my car. I love it too much! This car is the best mid-sized car on the market. The car is so stylish,affordable, luxurious, and comfortable. It took me about 3 hours just to get the car, but it was darn worth it. Similar Products Used: Uncomparable |

nice list of standard features, leather interior, comfortable ride, okay sound system, drives like a luxury car.
Weakness:
some areas inside are made of cheap materials, but it''s not major. suspension is kind of floaty, UGLY! big bang for the buck, worth buying if you don''t want to spend too much money but want a great ride. Similar Products Used: None |
