Maybe a modified vehicle. Check the VIN embossed on firewall. This gives you original config.

no guys it is not a one sample here . I found more than 20 unit of the same type. the reseller told me that is the korean Nubi which is on the korean streets. I need to verify this issue from korean members here.
I thought that the store guy was ignorant but when I opened the hood I found the car identification plate written on it engine type something like X15XX ( the X here is a letters I can't remember ) but I knew that in any engine code the numbers related to the displacement of the engine. I will go to see more cars next week to verify theis and have more photos

their are a few of them here in Egypt and they are all imported from outside... engine would look like standard 1.6 nubira engine but it is a 1.5

check on nilemotors forum and you will find a couple of members already bought that car such as ads member

those cars have a different auto tranny that depends heavily on electric and electronic parts and it is hard to maintain in here... also their is a few differences in engine management than the standard nubira.

and the performance?

Post by nefary »

mmmmm that is nice . but I need to know more about the performance did you hear about the performance?

and about the electrical and electronic parts. I think the auto transmission is a solid part and hard to maintain anyway here in egypt. and the electrical and electronic parts are easy to maintain more than mechanical auto trans. parts. I think the point in the spare parts.

but in yur opinion is this trans better than the exist one ( which I heared that it has many problems ) .

need a feedback!

well... guys that bought those cars are trying to save money as much as they can so they never pushed their cars over 100 or so :D

keep in mind that those are OBDII engines so they got cam position sensors, 2 O2 sensors and 2 cat converters and their ECU got 3 big sockets so it is a very different car when it comes to management and spare parts... those guys had to buy optra stuff from chevy dealers for $$$ to fix some problems.

same goes for the tranny... even if it was more durable than the one we got, when it develops problems it will ruin your life.

i say don't lose the biggest advantage that daewoo have (spare parts and easy maintenance) and stay away from those 1.5 nubiras... you can get a 1.6 lanos as it is basically a 1.5 lanos with nubira engine so you will face no problems is maintenance and spares.
