Australian Marketing/improvements
The base Leganza was offered with a 2.0L 4-cyl engine, 5 speed manual, hubcaps, cloth trim and all the standard power options. It had an optional 4 speed, hydraulically-operated transmission that was said to be rough operating, tended to hunt between gears, and do unnecessary downshifts to second gear. Ride quality was poor, as was cabin noise intrusion. In 1999, Daewoo made revisions to the model. The rough operating hydraulic auto was replaced by an electronically controlled automatic transmission, which stopped the hunting between gears and random downshifts. The engine was upgraded to the 2.2L, which boosted power from 98 kW (133 PS; 131 hp) to 100 kW (136 PS; 134 hp), giving better performance, but increasing fuel consumption. The Leganza also gained standard 15 inch alloy wheels, anti-theft alarm, and remote central locking. The suspension was fixed and improved, but sacrificed the smooth ride from the before model and the ability to soak up the bumps. In 2000 the Leganza gained leather upholstery, woodgrain trim, and an electric driver's seat. This was called the "Limited Edition". In 2002 the Nubria gained a leather interior, woodgrain, anti-theft alarm, alloy wheels and remote locking; this too was considered the "Limited Edition".

Famous quotes containing the words australian and/or improvements:
“Each Australian is a Ulysses.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“... these great improvements of modern times are blessings or curses on us, just in the same ratio as the mental, moral, and religious rule over the animal; or the animal propensities of our nature predominate over the intellectual and moral. The spider elaborates poison from the same flower, in which the bee finds materials out of which she manufactures honey.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
