2001 Daewoo Lanos S SPECIAL EDITION review from UK and Ireland
"A horror to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front suspension creaky and suspension is generally unstable.
Rear lights filled with water when vehicle was washed.
Brakes fail to slow car in an acceptable time even though replaced and checked by Daewoo dealer.
General comments?
A very unstable car that feels like you have jelly for suspension and thin air for brakes.
The car looks good, but looks cannot make up for safety!.
After approx 11000.00 miles I had my second service which was done by Daewoo.
On my way to the service my brakes failed. The front pads had worn down so much they were almost non existent.
£100.00 For front pads and I still do not get good braking. Also both front tyres needing replacing again at 11000.00 miles. The daewoo dealer failed to tell me that this was because the tracking had gone.
Had the tracking done at an independent garage and the car was driving well again for about a month.
After this month the car seemed to have a mind of its own. Occasionally it feels like my rear wheels are leaving the road and I get flashed by drivers behind me.
Had car checked over recently to be told that there are no problems.
I have driven cars up to 12 years old and felt safer.
