2000 Daewoo Lanos SE review from North America
"The worst car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My air conditioning has broken 4 times.
My brakes have been replaced 3 times (along with the rotors).
The car won't keep an alignment.
Tires were bald at 8000 miles.
I had an oil leak at 9000 miles.
The rear defroster has broke.
Engine smells like something is going to catch fire.
The engine light came on at 9000 miles.
General comments?
This car was the biggest disappointment I have ever had. The car has spent more time in the service department than being driven. I can't wait until the paperwork for the lemon law is finished.
