1999 Daewoo Nubira problems
Daewoo Nubira is a compact car which was produced by the South Korean automaker Daewoo from 1997 to 2002 as a 4-door sedan, 5-door hatchback and a 5-door station wagon.
Development
The Daewoo Nubira (J100 platform) was released in 1997 reflecting Daewoo's new found design and manufacturing process. Production took under 30 months by ex-Porsche and BMW engineering chief Dr. Ulrich Bez (later of Aston Martin), with Daewoo's growing in-house R&D network in Korea, Worthing and Munich collaborating with the world's best engineering consultancies. Styling was done by I.DE.A Institute in Italy, and other companies involved in the development programme included Ricardo and GM Holden. Built in Kunsan, South Korea in a factory equipped with sophisticated laser-guided robots, it was developed as a replacement. People weren't entirely sure what was the replacement, but Daewoo said that not only did it replace the lower and medium specification of the Espero, but also those at the upper end line-up of the Nexia.
Overview
The name Nubira (누비라) is the command form of the Korean verb Nubida (누비다), meaning to crisscross. Thus the name was chosen to convey the aspiration that this car would be seen crisscrossing every corner of the globe.
The Nubira II (J150) (facelift) was released for the model year 2000. Over 90 improvements were made by Daewoo's Worthing Technical Centre in the United Kingdom, including an increase in passenger space and a decrease in noise, harshness and vibration (by adding a fourth engine mount and retuning the intake resonators for example). Offset crash performance was further improved in the second generation, as demonstrated by Australian ANCAP tests, though it fell well short of exemplary performance. The exterior was reworked, including the revamped front, a more angular rear and door mirrors creating a more dynamic upright and swept look of the era, a design later seen reflected by the Lexus ES350 and 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante.
International market Nubiras had a choice of a Daewoo "E-Tec" 1.3,"E-Tec" 1.6, or Holden 1.8 or 2.0-litre inline-four gasoline engines: no diesel version was ever offered, although the Worthing Technical Centre installed Renault's F8 1.9-litre engine in a small number of test vehicles, under a development programme known as J151.
The Nubira was also briefly produced from CKD kits on Taganrog, Russia TagAZ factory; it was marketed as the Doninvest Orion by the Russian automaker Doninvest. Until 2008, Daewoo Nubira was produced in Romania in a former Daewoo factory which had the licence from GM Daewoo. The Daewoo Nubira was still produced in Egypt in 2008, in a former Daewoo factory which has the licence from GM Daewoo.
The Nubira was replaced in 2004 with the J200 Daewoo Lacetti, under GMDAT management with a new Pininfarina-designed body offered as a sedan, station wagon, and Italdesign hatchback. It was sold in some European markets as the Chevrolet Nubira and in the United States as the Suzuki Forenza and Reno.

When I think of a car, I always picture the Daewoo lineup. Whether it's the styling, comfort, or just the fun and uniqueness, Daewoo has it all. I've had my Daewoo for 5 years now, and it has taken me on so many adventures. It gives me the spiffiness of a sports car, and I couldn't be happier with it.
-
I have the 5-speed transmission and it averages 32mpg. During a cross-country trip, I was able to achieve 45mpg. The acceleration is smooth when switching back to full cruise. Although I have never done it, the car can reach a top speed of 122mph. Adding a rear spoiler can improve control. I had to replace the right lower control arm and timing belt at 50K due to living in Alaska. In my humble opinion, this is a great car overall.
-
This is my first 'real' car and has lasted for about 53,000 miles. This car is still going strong and is a great economy car. It's the best car for someone who wants both fun and practicality.
-
Bought new, and it's been good to us. We had a few minor issues, but thankfully the timing belt snapped at 40k and it was still under warranty. Other than that, we only had some minor interior gripes such as the overhead hand grip screw covers falling off and the backlight going out on the environmental controls. The tires from stock were not the best, but that's okay. We are starting to develop a little corrosion on the aluminum roof rack, but after 6 years, it's not unexpected.

I love it. Do you?

I bought this car new and unfortunately, after the warranty expired, I experienced a lot of problems. The CD player, air conditioning, ABS, heater cores (had to be replaced twice!), windshield wipers, alarm, and head gasket all had issues. Additionally, the struts seemed to wear out quickly. I spent thousands of pounds keeping this car on the road, and sometimes it took days for parts to arrive, which meant I had to rent a car. However, I finally retired it 4 days ago after 154,000 miles. I recently bought a new Honda Civic and I absolutely love it so far! Based on my experience, I would not recommend buying this car.
Evan Champlin 2024-03-21
I'm so glad you were able to find a car that fit your budget! It sounds like you got a great deal with only 29k miles on it. Although it needed a few repairs in the first week, it's great that you're still happy with your purchase. It's always a good feeling to get a lot for your money!
