1998 Daewoo Lanos SE review from Croatia
"Cheap, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car was crashed totally three times and engine still running fine until today. Engine reliability is superb.
Front left suspension started to rattle.
Exhaust pipes are terrible. They rusted out every two years, they are not expensive though.
General comments?
Car is generally reliable, cheap and non-attractive car. Engine is reliable. Parts are cheap.
It doesn't look spectacular, fuel consumption is pretty high.
Cabin is roomy, back seat is roomy, trunk is roomy.
It should have stronger engine for 1.2 ton car.
