Once moving the Tacuma provides an able drive, with nicely weighted steering, good grip and a decent ride. It's not quite as cheap as you might expect and newer rivals have really shown the Tacuma the way in regards to interior style and packaging. Okay, it features all the neat touches such as drinks holders and cubbies that are so important in vehicles of this type, but it's let down by the high boot sill and awkward parcel shelf. As with much of the Chevrolet range, the Tacuma is something of a transition model, waiting to be replaced by a proper Chevrolet, rather than a re-badged Daewoo. When that happens it'll likely offer seven seats, and if Chevrolet gets it right then with its attractive pricing and after sales support it should be a winner. But until then the Tacuma isn't really worth considering against the impressive competition.
