1999 Daewoo Lanos review from North America
"A serious disaster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There's nothing good about this car.
2 months after I bought my car, the "check" signal started to blink. I took it to mechanic and changed the engine-cooling system.
Then, 1 month later, it stopped working! (the engine did not start!) It was the electric problem, so I needed to tow my car and replace my fuse, and running for about 3 weeks and stopped again.
I towed my car, and this time it was a computer problem, and I need to replace it a new computer.
And 3 weeks after, the "check" signal turned on again!!!
I really don't know what to do with my car now. It is slightly better than my last car Geo-Metro, but it's not worth it.
No wonder Daewoo went bankrupt.
General comments?
Do not buy cars from Daewoo. Never!
