I have a cielo GLE AT
04/07/2011 12:25:10 | Chirag
I have a cielo GLE AT, a 96 model and drives like a charm. Maintainace is negligigle, and it has a better road presence than esteem. The -ve side is that there is more daewoo in india anymore, the car is meant for city driving, you cannot accelarate that quickly, as GLE AT has 3 fwd gears+ 1 reverse.
You should be able to get on without much trouble, and FYI all the parts are easily available in Bangalore, second hand as well as new ones.
Regards.

I have Cielo 1997 automatic transmission model
01/15/2011 10:20:10 | Anonymous Owner of Cielo
I have Cielo 1997 automatic transmission model. I have had Amby, Fiat,maruti 800, tata indica, fiat palio and then bought this one from the original owner in 2004 at 65000. And i will never go to any other car. EVEN THE TOPMOST MID-SEGMENT MODELS CANNOT BEAT THE FEATURES OF CIELO. At a cost it is available it is worth a buy anytime. Yeah true that it is expensive but you have see your usuage. I drive about 300 Kms a week, with AC/heating on it gives about 6-7 average. I bought it ofr 65K and have spent about 40K that too coz the mechanic messed up the AC and i had to go in for a complete new fittings.
It is truly luxurius, royal, very smooth, strong body (so you need not be scared of dents so prevalent with all maruti, hyundai and fiat models.) The automatic transmission makes it so convenient in traffic jams, pick up is so good, very spacious, boot space the biggest.
Analyse this — to save this so called extra maintenance, you go for new cars which are at least 5 times more expensive so in a way you are paying upfront the expenses which get spread out in case of cielo. And again even with the new cars or anu current models, is there really a guarantee that they would not give any problem.
There are good mechanics availbale in delhi.
Bottom line — NOTHING TO BEAT CIELO AND IF YOU WANT TO READ MORE PRAISE THEN GO TO http://auto.indiamart.com/cars/cielo/review.html

I have been using a cielo car for nearly 8 years
07/05/2009 22:30:37 | Subhash
I have been using a cielo car for nearly 8 years until I switched to a dezire diesel car. It is a value for money car at the current prices and the spares are available and are not very expensive, but costs more than a maruti 800. There are private workshops that attend to the repairs in all cities and Opel has cars with the same gear box and other components. If maintained well it gives a very good ride quality (it can beat many MID SEGMENT CARS on this point) at around 12km per litre on high ways and 10 km in city with AC on. With autogas the running costs would be a shade lower.

I am using Cielo 96 model for the past 7 yrs
07/05/2009 22:30:08 | Guru Prasad
I am using Cielo 96 model for the past 7 yrs and so far no problem. I brought the car from Delhi to Hyderabad and still using here. Now, in the recent past, the break problem has started and it is costing me Rs.10,000/- (Mazda Motors, Hyderabad). Although, I love this car very much but when the maintanence comes, it is really difficult to manage this car. On the other side, the fuel tank — I do not know whether it is made for some War tanker. It consumes petrol like kids eating ice creams. All cielo loves Petrol. Off late, I am thinking of disposing it and buying a TVS Scooty for it. Yes, its a fact.
Hey guys, go for some Maruti cars which are very easy to maintain. The availability of spare parts are so easy from Kanyakumari to Himalayas.

First Generation: Daewoo LeMans/Daewoo 1.5i (1986-1994)
Daewoo first exported the LeMans in North America in 1988 as a three-door hatchback and a four-door sedan and marketed it under the Pontiac LeMans nameplate. In Korea, the car pioneered the aerodynamic design and digital dashboard that were new automotive features back then. This generation reached Canada in 1988 as Passport Optima (renamed Asüna GT/SE in 1991) and Australia in 1994 as Daewoo 1.5i.
In its introduction as Daewoo 1.5i in Australia, it was powered by a 1.5-litre GM Family 1 4-cylinder petrol engine, which generated up to 57 kW of power and 127 Nm torque, channelling this power through either a 3-speed automatic or 5-speed manual gearbox. Fuel consumption ranged from 6.7L to 7.45L per 100km, depending on the transmission system used.
The hatchbacks were available in both three and five-door options. The three-door hatch featured a radio-cassette with four speakers, while the five-door option and sedan had power steering in addition to what the three-door hatch offered. All body styles have a sitting capacity of five.
The 1.5i’s independent front suspension was handled by MacPherson struts, coil springs and stabilizer bar, while the rear used a compound crank with coil springs and stabilizer bar. In the US, the versions had a bigger engine and a sportier exterior, featuring 14-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, a rear spoiler, and Recaro-style seats.
Second Generation: Daewoo Cielo (1994-2016)
The LeMans or 1.5i car in the previous generation evolved into the Daewoo Cielo in 1994. Both are mechanically the same, except for some restyling in the second generation. Daewoo offered the same body styles but with an updated 1.5-litre GM Family 1 engine. Several trims were available but which varied between regions, with GL and GLX trims marketed in Australia. The lower-spec GL was offered for both the 3-door hatch and 4-door sedan body type but only in automatic transmission. The GLX, on the other hand, was provided for all body styles and in both automatic transmission and manual gearbox.
Range of Cielo variants:
- GL – 3-door hatchback; 1.5-litre G15MF 8V 4-cyl petrol engine (55 kW, 123 Nm, 7.25L/100km) paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission; featured a radio cassette with four speakers
- GL – 4-door sedan; 1.5-litre G15MF 8V 4-cyl petrol engine (55 kW, 123 Nm, 7.25L/100km) paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission; featured a radio cassette with four speakers and power steering
- GLX – 3-door or 5-door hatchback; 1.5-litre A15MF 16V 4-cyl petrol engine (66 kW, 137 Nm, 6.9L-7.1L/100km) paired with either 4-speed GM 4T40E automatic transmission or 5-speed manual gearbox; came with GL features plus alloy wheels, CD player, central locking, front fog lights, power steering, power windows (front), rear spoiler
- GLX – 4-door sedan; 1.5-litre A15MF 16V 4-cyl petrol engine (66 kW, 137 Nm, 6.9L-7.1L/100km) paired with either 4-speed auto or 5-speed manual gearbox; came with GL sedan features plus CD player, central locking, front fog lights, power windows (front), rear spoiler
The GL models have an acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h of 12.5 seconds, while the GLX has a slightly-improved time of 12.2 seconds. As to their emissions, the GL models were all non-Euro compliant, while all the GLX’s were Euro 2 compliant.
Awards, Recalls, Discontinuation
The Cielo, also called Nexia in Europe and the UK, won awards in the categories of Best in Class and Favourite Model in the 1997 Cornhill Insurance Motor Test.
In 1996, there was a recall for the Daewoo Nexia due to misrouted wiring harness engine bay. It also received a medley of criticisms, including its outdated mechanicals, dull styling, electrical issues, spare parts that were not easy to find, and an ABS control mod that was too expensive to replace.
In Australia, the Cielo went on to sell until 1998 alongside its successor, the compact Daewoo Nubira, and the sub-compact Daewoo Lanos, which have both entered the market in 1997.
