Faults:

-Nothing yet, except some minor wear and tear issues.

General Comments:

-This car is a terrific value! I don't know why so many people put down the car and the maker, including many automobile guides. I was hesitant at first about buying from Daewoo, but then I was instantly lured in by their terrific products.

-It could be that I just got lucky and got a good one, who knows!

-For a mere 13,000, you get a terrific sound system, air conditioning, and even standard red leather sport seats!

-Hopefully you'll get lucky like I did and you won't get a lemon. Get these great cars while they're still on sale in the US!

Faults:

Front left headlight which is meant to be sealed has very bad condensation (water) in it.

Drivers seat has broken threads which look unsightly.

General Comments:

The Daewoo Lanos Sport has better than average power. I was surprised at the willingness of the engine to rev.

Anything under 3000RPM and the car is mediocre, but once it gets in the 3000-5500 rev range it really takes off.

Some people may find it a little noisy, but I actually like being able to hear the engine.

Fuel economy is not great for a car of this size. I average 10km/Litre, but tend to thrash it a little bit.

I did some serious research and test drove a LOT of cars in the price range and found the Lanos Sport to be the best value. I paid $16,990 AUD drive away which included power steering, windows, central locking, CD player, air conditioning etc.

The three years warranty and scheduled servicing was the deal clincher, although that is no longer being offered.

I have read a lot of bad reviews about this car, and don't believe that they are warranted. My girlfriend also has one and has done 50,000km's in hers.

All the problems I have had with the car (minor ones so far) are being rectified this week without any question from the dealer.
