Rented a Daewoo in England a few weeks ago. Total sh*t. Not like any
japanese car Ive ever been in. Way way worse. Got 97 miles out of it before
the engine blew and it had to be towed away from the stonehenge parking lot.
We werent even beating on it! I wouldnt recommend it to my enemies. Now we
use it as a noun,  "what a piece of daewoo..."
