What do you think about the Chevrolet Nubira?

What is the general consensus on the 2005 Chevrolet Nubira 1.6 automatic?

Hi Richard,

I'm afraid the general consensus is that Daewoo never made a decent car in its history as a manufacturer, and gluing a Chevrolet badge on the front didn't do anything to improve them. 

The Nubira would be relatively cheap and painless to own - they tend to be reliable - but even for very little money you can find a better nine-year old car than this.

If it's the automatic that you're particularly after, we've found a bevy of mid-size auto saloons for Nubira money that are vastly superior. A Nissan Primera perhaps? Or how about a Toyota Avensis? Or even a Volkswagen Bora? They're all out there for sale right now. 

Either way, life's just too short to lumber yourself with a Chevy Nubira. Aim higher.
