2002 Daewoo Lanos review from North America
"Cheaply built, but still pretty good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had it for a year then I sold it to buy something better at the time.
No problems ever occurred.
General comments?
This car is a great car for its low price tag.
It is very quick and fuel efficient. Passengers and cargo tends to slow down the light car.
It lacks very much refinement even for an economy car.
It is not the most physically appealing car.
It can make long hauls and long trips very quick and easy.
Its thin doors and general body lets in a lot of noise.
I would be very afraid to get into an accident in this car, I hit it with a shopping cart once and left a huge dent in the door. Hail damage can really tear it up.
Very good for a point a-to-point-b-car.
Weather has little affect on this car. Starts in the cold and runs even in the heat of the desert.
