Criticisms

 * On Drive, in the owner reviews, the Daewoo Tosca (known as the Holden Epica in Australia) is rated only 2 stars. As described by one owner, ""Cheap and Nasty" is a polite way to describe this car" Drive (Owner review)


 * "Would I pick an Epica over a Camry? No. Or a Mitsubishi 380? No." CarsGUIDE


 * "A drink-of-water car. It quenches your thirst, but there is no taste of bubble." CarsGUIDE


 * "I somehow managed to avoid driving anything totally nasty this year and so felt almost apologetic about branding the Epica with the Hawley Kiss of Death when I finally drove it as late as November. I actually like its wedgy mix of Saab 9-5 and BMW 5 Series (look at those headlights) atyling, and the CDXi has a serious amount of stuff in it of 30 grand. But the ride is woeful over sharp bumps, the steering wooden and the front seats are about as soft and supportive as kitchen chairs. Then I had to check the specks list three times to confirm it did have a 2.5-litre six under the bonnet. Smooth and silent it might be, but torque? It feels like there's a sick hamster on a treadmill turning the front wheels. It maybe one for bargain hunters, but not for me." Wheels Magazine
