1998 Daewoo Lanos SX review from UK and Ireland
"Good cheap car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Reversing light switch has packed in.
Engine sounds a bit noisy on its tappets.
Screws where the parcel shelf attaches to the back window have come undone and gone missing.
Drivers window motor is noisy at times.
General comments?
Brought this car as a stopgap for my sister after she had an accident in her Clio.
Driving it home from her paying for it, it's very quick.
And for £1100, for a car with power windows and mirror and air con, it isn't too bad.
Also my sister managed to drive it about 5,000 miles without any oil in the engine, and it still carried on going.
