1997 Daewoo Lanos SE review from Croatia
"Cheap and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Around 40000 km I have changed spark plugs and cables for them.
60000 changed all engine belts.
That's about all.
General comments?
Car runs smooth all this time and I never had any problems with it except spark plugs which were replaced.
Handling is good on uneven surfaces cause of the soft suspension setup which is stock, but it lacks precision on flat surfaces. Brakes are OK, but they need to be warmed up before any hard braking, it takes about 2 or 3 stops to warm them up.
Comfortable, cheap and reliable, uses around 8L of gas per 100Km.
