1999 Daewoo Lanos SE review from Netherlands
"I hope to get rid of it before the warranty ends!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gearbox had to be replaced already after 2 weeks.
After about 5000km the waterpump had to be replaced also. The worst thing is that the car salesman tried to convince me that this wasn't covered by the warranty. I really had to threaten that I would speak to the newspaper before they agreed to fix it under warranty.
There is also a problem with the fuel-meter for which I already have already been 4 times to the car shop and it still isn't fixed at all!!!
General comments?
This car is not very reliable and the service (at least in the car shop were I bought it) is very poor.
Furthermore the 1300cc engine really lacks power and for sure is not very economic.
I really wish I still had my Excel.
