2000 Daewoo Lanos S review from North America
"This car is a bargain for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the oxygen sensors failed at 50,000 miles. The cam sensor caused the check engine light to come on at 70,000 miles.
General comments?
The 2000 daewoo Lanos is a very reliable car. It has adequate power with the 1.6 engine. It has pretty good handling and holds the road well. Because it is so small, it is scary when one drives next to big rigs. Contrary to what most people say, parts at present are pretty easy to get although for the first few years they were somewhat harder to get.
