2000 Daewoo Lanos review from Greece
"Good value for its price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lights are weak for night driving. Cannot be corrected according to the local dealer.
Air flow from heat/air condition to the front windshield broken a year ago. Replaced wire, but broke again last September.
Wheel alignment problem. Shows at 110km/hr. Did not improve much after alignment at the dealership.
When driving fast we got high noise level from day one. This was probably from air leak at the windows (cannot feel the wind coming in though). We were told by the dealer that this is not typical for the model, but also not possible to fix.
After jump start a few months ago, air sensor had to be replaced. Mechanic said to jump starting it after disconnecting the sensor.
No serious problems so far. Replaced tires at 2 years (the ones we have are still good), brake pads (40000km), battery and engine belt (50000km) at normal service mileage.
General comments?
The car is dependable and we are quite happy having it. Driving habits are average family transportation short trips (200km on the average) and daily 20km driving to/from work.
Space available and comfort is above average in its category.
