Daewoo Kalos (2003 - 2005) 1.4 SE 5d (2003/03) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I think it says stylish but practical

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They like it, they think it's a nice looking little car, good value, nothing flashy but nice.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would, I like how it looks and drives and seems reliable.

What are you likely to buy next?

I'm planning to keep this car for quite a while and when I do buy my next car I would probably go for something bigger.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,400

When did you buy the car?

February 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I feel I did, hadn't seen any other 03 plate cars for this price that were in good condition with full MOT and tax. I managed to get £100 off the asking price and got the dealer to fix a few little things that were niggling me and new tyres.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Was looking for a nice little used car on a budget.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, willing to negotiate within reason and fixed any little things I wasn't happy with.

What's it like to drive?

Nice to drive and a quiet engine, slight rattle coming from the dash when going up hill if in a higher gear but nothing at all to worry about, to be expected in a cheaper used car.

What's it like to park?

No problem

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not gone wrong as such but cambelt was due a change and no proof of that in service history so got that done as didn't want to risk it going and causing big problems with the engine.

What's most practical about your car?

It's a cheap, stylish little car.
