Until 1:30 p.m. Today (june 3, 2004), I thought my 2002 daewoo nubira was a god-sent because of its excellent gas economy (~30 mpg). The engine caught on fire this afternoon and now it's a piece of junk. I have been doing my oil change every 3000 miles and so far I've put about 39000 miles on it. As far as I know, this should not have happened but it did!!! I hope this is not one of those things daewoo is trying to hide.
