Daewoo Daewoo Espero - Road Test??

[Karabiner98k]

Does anyone here have any magazine in which this car has been tested??

I believe even Daewoo didn't test it

Man that car is rubbish, my old neighbor had one and all I heard from him is complaaaaains ... it was a replacement for his old W123 Merc. He sold the Daweoo and kept the Merc for another 10 years (after replacing some shocks & engine seats).

I can't begin to explain how disturbed I am by the fact that someone on this forum is looking for a test on the Espero!

Martin,
Don't blame me, i know the truth about this car but i want to see how it performed in magazines because one of my neighbors bought one and i just want to help him. I didn't find any road test of it on the net.

Well then, you're a really good neighbour, Karabiner...

The car has a one star safety rating in Australia.

A 1995 Australian road test said:

The Daewoo Espero might lack the refinement of many of its competitors when it comes to things like noise and harshness, chassis dynamics and detail finish, but it certainly has no trouble competing on value for money and equipment levels.

So while the Espero won't necessarily attract the more demanding type of driver, it does have plenty of appeal for buyers whose priorities are focused more towards just getting themselves into an affordable new car that's roomy, with adequate performance, and with ample comfort and convenience features.

Here are a few dozen owner reviews: Daewoo Espero Reviews - Carsurvey.org

Overall it seems like a typical mid-90s Korean sedan - pretty shit, but does the job.

Don't forget that this car was based on the automotive masterpiece that was the 1982 Opel Ascona.

I think AMS tested this car:
Daewoo Espero 2.0 (Tests, Bilder, Videos) - auto motor und sport

If someone has the issue in which Espero was tested, it will be great for me to see how it performed in Elastizitat category.
(60-100km/h in 4th gear)
(80-120km/h in 5th gear)

And the engine comes from Opel Vectra.
