What about other Korean makes ?

[Hidayat]

Used to own a Daewoo Racer II Auto. Had cornering problems, irritating droning sound during high speeds. Other than that, a sound car. As silent as a Toyota when idling! If not mistaken, Daewoo cars are powered by Opel engines which explains its robustness.

 

The Tacuma is a refreshing change but with that kinda price, rather get the renault scenic. Anyway, me driving the trajet and I found out that the trajet was designed by Hyundai of Germany.

I heard about the probelms with the trajet transmission but if I am not mistaken, I think they were referring to the manual version.

Yes, same as yours....

My colleague is looking at getting a 2 yr old Daewoo Lanos. Can you advise what is the fuel consumption and are the parts that "ex"?

[Ben123]

I own a 2 year old Daewoo Lanos II 1.5 Auto. Fuel consumption is on the low side at 9.5 km/l. So far, I have no major problem with the car except for an end-of-life battery.

[Duadua2]

i just know there's lanos 2 in the market

[Ben123]

Lanos II was a facelift launched in 2001.

Hi, I just bought a Lanos II 1.5A the mileage is about 9.2k/litre. Is it the best it can go? Have you go to the agent for servicing? Is there a better and cheaper workshop for daewoo other than the agent??

[Arah]

[Eskimo]

Have you done your 10K servicing ? I have booked for my 2nd Servicing and the waiting time is 9 days !

 

During the sales talk , the Salesman said it was 3 days in advance.

I am thinking of going to Comfort automotives after my warranty expired. I heard they are quite cheap. I went servicing Starauto charge me $42 for labour to change oil, about $80 for fully synthetic. How about your experience??

[Hoshi8]

Isn't daewoo being bought over by GM???...so if it is now GM daewoo...it must be quite ok...GM is a respectable company...just my opinion.

If you are in the East , you can try Poh Loon Auto Service located at the CALTEX Station in Frankel Avenue.

He is an ex Starsauto employee , lots of Certs hanging on the wall.

Prices are standard and since he uses Caltex products , any price plans or offers are also available .

Nice old man , tries to be nice to his customers .

Call up 1 day in advance , just to be sure .

Tel 62453403

BTW I have no connections with him or his shop , just been there twice so far .

I have only done 1 servicing with Starsauto at 1000km. I think they charge me $30+ for the mineral oil that time. Will be going for second service later this week, after 6000km.

 

Comfort Automotive is also in my list, well,let me know if you have good experiences with them.

KIA Rio is got a friend driving it for less than a week (b4 CNY)and kanna rain/flood. the whole carpet was soak with water?.....he went and ask the service center, they told him it is like that..... until today still not solve. Even washing the car will wet the carpet. After some troubleshooting with him, we notice that the water slip in from the bottom of the door....

[Eskimo]

Thanks for the information. Will note it down.

[Maverick88]

well, I notice the labour for oil change at 10km is $42 and the fully synthetic is $80plus.

For that price I get oil change and wheel balancing at other workshop.
