1998 Daewoo Lanos SE review from Greece
"Reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 180000 KM the light check engine is on. The car runs so I ignore it.
I changed the water pump 3 times because of its leaking.
3 times disc brakes were changed, and 5 times the brake pads.
One time I change the muffler with an aftermarket in ox to avoid frequent changes.
3 times springs and shock absorbers were changed.
Today I have I little leak from the head gasket.
2 of my door knobs are broken (behind), the light of the trunk doesn't work, the headlights turned from white to yellow, and my left mirror is off.
General comments?
I have had the car almost 11 years, the engine is still running (335.000), the interior is in good shape, and the spare parts are easy to find.
In general the car is good, but it has no power (only 75ps).
