1997 Daewoo Lanos SE review from France
"Pretty good bargain, whether you like it or not!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None, everything is excellent.
General comments?
We bought a new Matiz for my wife last year, and I got very enthusiastic about the Lanos. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to find a good second hand one from the same dealer, in order to replace my old Passat.
I really enjoy my Lanos, though it's a little short in power (86 DIN). But, the dealer having bought my Passat, I paid in the end just a miserable 33000 French francs. Not so bad for such a nice car! I hope my next one is a Lanos SX (105 DIN)...
