Title: Just been to ASDA in my daewoo.
Post by: The Sheriff on 22 August 2014, 11:59:11
It never missed a beat. It must be about a mile there and back. Handled it effortlessly.   ;D

What you mean you didn't have to get the suspension realigned on the way home???  :o  ::)  ;D

To be fair to Steve I don't think that Daewoo, and it's upmarket sibling Dacia, are actually bad cars. :y :y

I aspire to a Dacia Sandero. :-* :-* :-* :-*

Who wouldn't?...... :)

I believe the duster is the Dacia of choice.

From a purely economic point of view, they are unbeatable. And for anyone that drives a 12 year old vauxhall to try a bit of badge snobbery.......well.... ;D

I was pleasantly surprised by uncle's Duster, although I think the base model makes more sense. And the Renault underpinnings drastically reduce my interest.

Think of them as Nissan underpinnings? ;D

Although the two Renaults I had (a 19 16v and 5 GT Turbo) were still two of the most reliable cars I ever owned..  :-[

And, as I keep saying, my wife's megane coupe, complete with all the electronic gizmos, has never given any trouble over 4 years and 35,000 miles.
Omegas, of course, are equally reliable.

What! You didn't breakdown, get a parking ticket or knock the suspension out of alignment on the 3rd world roads in Sleepfield. :o :o :o :o Obviously a red letter day. I look forward to seeing it as the lead item on the news tonight. ;D ;D ;D ;D

"Groomer drives all the way to Asda and back in Sleepfield without incident, I repeat without incident. Over to our Sleepfield reporter for a special live report....." ;D ;D ;D ;D

Paddy Power are offering 100-1 that you can't repeat the feat. I don't like those odds, at 500-1 it might of been worth risking a fiver. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh....no doubt at all. Middle aged, British men who drive 'decent cars' think both are exactly the same.  ;D
