2001 Daewoo Lanos S review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, and that's about it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air directional knob stopped working so couldn't clear windscreen in winter.
Driver door window mechanism - wire snapped stopping window from moving.
General comments?
Cabin quality is poor, really cheap feel plastics which have started to come apart in my car.
Various pieces of trim around the door have fallen off.
AWFUL acceleration.
The ride is rough on all roads but motorways where the frustration is purely down to lack of power.
Brakes aren't the best, and mine doesn't have ABS so can be a bit dicey in certain conditions.
Lots of body roll in corners where the car understeers badly.
The Lanos is however very reliable and mine has never broken down on me; no problems as of yet with the gearbox or the engine.
