2000 Daewoo Lanos S review from North America
"Very simple, functional, has potential, could be much better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlights went out. First the passenger side, so I replaced both bulbs, then both went out. Dealer said "melted wiring". They did a "band-aid" fix and told me to come back for the head lamps they had ordered for me. I never went back and the lights are fine (so far).
Seat needs readjustment every week or so.
Engine seems to come off idle now and then. IOW: bogs down briefly at a stoplight then picks back up. This can't be normal.
General comments?
It is quick enough.
Could be more comfy and less noisy.
How did Daewoo overlook a front sway bar?
Where can I get one in the aftermarket?
