2001 Daewoo Lanos review from North America
"A soupy bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The window defrost takes about ten minutes to start working.
Both front seats tend to slowly slide back while driving, but nobody seems to notice until they are getting back into the car and the seat is almost laying down.
And for some reason it always smells like soup!
General comments?
This is a good car for someone going to school, or with a low budget. I am very pleased with it's performance in the snow, it handles very well.
The car is also very roomy despite how small it looks.
