1999 Daewoo Lanos S review from UK and Ireland
"Competent, reliable, economic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The thermostat failed in the open position at 15000 miles. Garage fix.
Replaced timing belt at same time.
The rotary air vent direction controller failed, because the operating cable behind the dash had become detached, but I fixed it with a cable tie. Access was possible after removing the glove box. (An easy fix).
The driver's door speaker failed.
General comments?
The front seats gradually recline all by themselves over a period of weeks. Spooky.
The windows drop about 1 cm from time to time and cause wind noise.
The power steering is very light, but I like it that way.
Handling, brakes, steering, suspension and ride are all acceptable.
