Engine and Transmission

Specifications, details, graphs, pictures and other information regarding the powertrain is placed in this section.

Performance

Please make sure to write information of the vehicle's performance in a third-person point of view. This section should include information about the car's acceleration figures, handling, braking, etc.

If using information gathered from Road Test articles from a reputable automotive source, then please make sure to cite the quote.

Reliability

The Lacetti was sold with a standard 3 Year/100,000km limited warranty when sold new from dealerships, however, since the Lacetti is still considered relatively new on the market, not many issues regarding reliability have been easily found in this late stage.

Safety

Main Competitors

Resale Values

There has been constant criticism regarding the poor resale values of used Daewoos and the Lacetti is considered no different. Although the Lacetti is considered one of Daewoos better made vehicles, many pundits consider that the Daewoo badge itself is to blame and they have been quoted in car reviews as saying "badge snobs beware", saying that the car itself is a class effort but it is the Daewoo badge that let it down as a consumer product.

Criticisms

There have been some criticisms regarding the CD player face plate. Critics have commented on the buttons being to small to be easy to use. Some more criticism relates to the fact that when one releases the accelerator pedal the engine tends to remain at the same revolutions before the pedal was released for a brief moment. Many have commented that other cars experience this similar issue but consider it just a "quirk" of the car.

Generations

Fill in as many as appropriate. Add more if necessary and pictures wherever applicable.

Design quirks and oddities

• The British television program Top Gear has been using the Daewoo Lacetti (Badged as a Chevrolet Lacetti in the UK) as the vehicle used by celebrities in the "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" segment of the show.
