DAEWOO Leganza (1999) | POWER and ELEGANCE? | #25

Introduced in 1997 the Daewoo Leganza was a truly international project of the South Korean Manufacturer: Bodywork design from Italy, inspired by a rejected Jaguar Project, engines designed in Australia and manufacture plants in Korea, Egypt, Ukraine, Poland, Romania and Vietnam.
Leganza was attracting with it’s reach equipment being more expensive than Renault Megan or Peugeot 406 and in a comparable price to Toyota Avensis.
Eleganza and Forza - in Italian elegance and power were the words that inspired the name of his car. Is that only a slogan or are those 2 best words describing this car?
Pozdrawiam p. Marka!

I remember when Daewoo first appeared here in Portugal presenting this model. Back in the day my dad was really surprised and even consideredbti buy one. However, the lack of reputation and poor dealership and resale value , moved him away to buy a Rover. Nice car though at least nicely designed. Still looks good today from the outside

[@CarRambler1]

What Rover did your Father buy?

Ótimo vídeo! 👏👏

Thanks for watching!

Leganza weri good.

[@noamzacks3315]

I'm in Israel.In2006 i bought a low killometrage 2001 LX automatic.I took the advice of a wise man and placed a special 'rug' on the console(inc.the holes for the vents)to protect the console from the hot sun.The ride was very mediocre,the body 'felt' like Daewoo had a contract with Coke cans recycling centre,inside plastics felt cheap...The only good thing i can say-it was roomy

[@marck0060]

Must've had cheap suspension parts or some other defect, the best thing about Leganzas is their ride quality and handling!! Top of the line models with speed sensitive steering can take on a 90 degree turn at full speed without any body roll

[@chickenfarm09]

I want it in usa!

[@97I30T]

Daewoo sold Leganzas here in the USA.

[@carolinarehbein9365]

Do you recommend it for a first used car? It is expensive, like, the consumption, repairs, etc? Nice video!

[@CarRambler1]

Sorry its not mine. I think it would be better to go with Lanos if you consider Daewoo and want to keep costs low. Lanos was much more popular car. Depended where you are located. Here in Poland still all parts are there so no problem to fix.

[@marck0060]

Daewoo parts are extremely cheap and as long as the car you buy is in good condition and has been taken care of then you won't have any issues with reliability. Fuel consumption is great especially on models with DOHC engines

[@leod3963]

Change timing belts and related components often. 2.0 and 2.2 engine in leganza and nubira love to snap timing belts and bend valves.

[@SnarkyRC]

Change those belts!

[@terrificspokesman7416]

These cars are really rare now in the UK

[@CarRambler1]

Same in Poland. It will be a rarity to see one of them on car shows in 20, 30 years from now.

[@terrificspokesman7416]

@@CarRambler1 I've also heard that they are really rare in USA and Canada as well. I have only seen 1 Leganza and it was abandoned outside a paint shop

[@CarRambler1]

[@awbr1991]

Just found a 2002 model in surprisingly good shape for only 1400. Thinking of really going in on it and turning it up. Any tips?

[@CarRambler1]

1400 of what? This might be essential information :)

[@noamzacks3315]

If you are in a hot climate,cover the console ,like i've done.There are 'rugs' specially for consoles(take into account the air/a.c vents/speakers).the polymer Daewoo used for the cosoles,cracks under the hot sun
