2001 Daewoo Lanos from North America - Comments

I have had nothing go wrong with this car so far. I found a minor paint defect near the trunk, which the dealer took care of.

I am a larger person. The seat room is very ample, and the seat belts are roomy.

It has a quiet engine and it runs well.

The cup holders are very inconvenient... they block the radio controls, and you cannot expect to hold anything more than a soda can in them.

I have found the drivers side door to be a pain. You have to lock it by key on the outside.

The trunk space is large.

I love the style of the exterior, very classy. For a low budget car, I feel it is a good deal.

I found the driver's side locking mechanism to be a great idea - you never, never have to worry about locking your keys in the car. I am surprised at the fact that a person would buy a car without noticing something like that first!?!

And besides, it's not the only car out there with this feature. Every Honda I've had (an 91 Accord EXR and 93 Civic SI) come with that feature also. Exactly as pointed out before, you'll never forget your keys in the car.

Anybody else have a car with this 'problem'?

Try holding up on the handle while you shut it, that is how my Suzuki Sidekick works. Just guessing on this, never tried it on this particular car.

Only holds a soda can? I have this car and so what... how much soda do you want, "ample person"!?

Perhaps Daewoo is doing you a health service by only allowing the cup holders to hold "nothing more than a soda can"???

As for the car it's great...peppy...sharp looking (had custom rims put on mine). Only problem is the freakin passenger seat keeps reclining on me after a few drives. Oh well.

Leather, CD, AC, Power steering and breaks, power locks, dual air bags, sport package... for $4500.00!? how can any one complain (that's how much I paid for mine)
