2001 Daewoo Lanos SE review from Bahamas
"Needs better idling while air conditioning is on"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electrical system is giving me headaches. I have purchased about 100 fuses - they keep blowing.
First it was the air conditioning compressor, then it was the blower relay, then it was the radio, then the fog lights - that are not even installed.
Now, the ECG and fuel fuses are the new kids on the block.
I have gone through more tires that any one I know.
And those spark plug cables break so easily. The heat from manifold cause them to break down, and they just pop off and you have to muscle the stump from in between the manifold.
I do not like the sound of the engine. My mechanic says it is due to the low circulation of oil throughout the engine block.
Other that that, it is a good car - sarcasm...
General comments?
Overall a good bargain for the price, but as a good friend once said to me...
Good, fast, cheap - choose two, you can't have three...
