2001 Daewoo Lanos S review from North America
"The Daewoo Lanos is a fine little automobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dealer had to snap the vent control cable back into place. This should have been caught before the car was placed on the lot.
The dealer has replaced under warranty the driver side headlight unit after the original one shorted out.
General comments?
Although the car had spent several years on the new car lot, it was a real bargain at $5000.
I have put 20,000 miles on the car and have had no major problems or out of pocket expenses. My only expenses have been for gas and oil changes.
This little car looks like a more expensive European car. Since few of these cars are on the road I have a limited edition car without the limited edition price.
My gas mileage averages 28 miles per gallon in city/rural driving. I wish that it was a little higher.
With 20,000 miles on the car I can honestly say this little car is a joy to own. It was a good purchase.
