1999 Daewoo Lanos LE review from North America
"An economical compact value for large sized people"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turn signal switch, right position, broke at about 20,000 miles. I have to hold the lever in position for continous right turn signal.
Both passenger side automatic window cable systems have fouled and are inoperable. This happened at the over 40K miles point.
Plastic catch for the fuel door snapped in two pieces.
General comments?
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my Daewoo Lanos.
I am a tall man, and this is one of the only compact cars I've ever seen with enough leg and head room.
I have never experienced engine trouble to the point of requiring professional service.
I use the car for 40 mile transit, almost entirely freeway driving, and average over 30 miles per gallon.
