Same gearbox whine and rattling engine, bad road noise and a small cramped front compartment, useless steering wheel control layout. And as for considerable handling improvements over the VZ BULLSIHT. The only good thing I can say abouit the thing was it has a decent sized boot. Anybody who thinks these are a better open road car than a BF is having themselves on. Motor & Wheels must have copped a sling or they employ idiots and biased liars as test drivers. Buggered if I can figure oiut where the so called billion dollar investment was spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For abillion dollar investment they are a joke. I'm an avid Expensive Daewoo disliker but the VE is nowhere near worthy of the praise it was given, just a trumped up VZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John K Member 141 Member For: 17y 27d Location: Sydney Posted 27/02/08 06:57 AM Share Posted 27/02/08 06:57 AM I tried a VE for a week - hired one in Nov.I agree with many of your comments - Very wimpy off the mark. Felt like it weighed 3 tons. Shocking vis around the A pillar. Shocking vis out back trying to look over the wing.Don't remember much about the driving position/layout, but I did have to ring the rental co. breakdown service because the battery warning light kept coming on. He said a lot of VEsl do it and to ignore it unless the car won't start!A few weeks later I hired an XR6 and it seemed much more lively and more fun to drive. No vision issues except the smaller than I'm used to side mirrors.Ordered my XR6T a couple of weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ford hands down mate, that yellow xr6 thingy we have is a much better car then this and so the SE one" was his answer referring to a BF XR6 and a BF SE we have on the fleet.

I haven't driven one, so can't comment on them. My point is if you hopped on a Expensive Daewoo forum you'd hear all the same stories except the reverse. It just depends on what side of the fence you sit on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
