Economy
Value
Excellent value for money. Got this for £2700 with a £395 part exchange. Was £3095. An excellent car and classy supermini. Well underpriced.
Costs
Not as economic as it is made out to be. Still cheap to run, though.

On the road
Driving
Excellent. No overtaking problems. Power steering is fantastic. Handles corners and stops brilliantly.
Performance
We got to 85 and still plenty of pedal room on the M27. Fantastic mover.

Living with it
Reliability
Can't tell yet as only owned for a month now.
Image
Cheeky face and attractive all round, inside and out. Mark 2 is better looking on the exterior than mark 1. Keep an eye on rusted panels on chipped and uncared for paintwork.
Comfort
Very comfy and firm supportive seats. Lovely!

Security and Service
Security
SE has immobiliser. No central locking or alarm. Who cares? No-one can steal it with the immobiliser, touch wood!
Service
Excellent. Came with full Daewoo service history. 1 wheel bearing replaced under dealer warranty. Watch out for faulty fuel senders.
