1999 Daewoo Lanos review from North America
"Great buy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radio stopped working after I drained the battery once. The dealer couldn't get it to work either. This is the only problem I have had with this car!
General comments?
The good: I bought this car for something like $6,000 new and frankly didn't expect it to run so well and so smoothly for so long. It has great gas mileage, looks sharp and is just fun to drive around.
The bad: The customer service is not so great from the dealer (they lost their Daewoo representative), and the radio just sucked to begin with.
