The question

I am thinking of buying a 2004 Daewoo Lacetti 1.4. Anything in particular I should look out for in this type of vehicle?

Hi Peter,

Nope, there appear to be no major issues with the Lacetti other than a tendency for water to get into the electrical system, causing some problems starting the car and with the alarm. It's not a complex problem, but it can take an age to find where the water is getting in so check and make sure that all the electrics are working properly on the car and if possible test drive on a wet, rainy day.

There have been some reports of Lacettis suffering from very high fuel consumption, but that could just be down to individual driving style.

Let us know if you'd like help finding an alternative.
