Daewoo > Daewoo Lanos Daewoo

pathetic

Advantages: easy to fix yourself!
Disadvantages: poor quality!

the cars handling is unbelievable. it cant go round corners at speed it under steers. iv had everything fall off the radio doesn't work my heating gets stuck on full heat it doesn't blow air by the windscreen so it fogs up on a regular basis. the paint chips far too easily. the rear window is pretty high so it makes it difficult to park. the gear ratio is very surprising, the car from stationary to first into second takes less than two seconds which ...

Review of Daewoo Lanos 1.4

How the Daewoo Lanos SX became my Streetmachine

Advantages: Sporty looks, 16Valve 1.6 engine, reliable, large storage capacity for size.
Disadvantages: Suspension not tight enough

Having bought my shiny 'new' Daewoo Lanos 1.6SX from an Ebay trader in 2004, critics would probably say I was mad. Especially as it cost me just over £2000 at the time! However, despite the odd service and part replacement over 5 years it has been a reliable little car and has served me well. On the plus side, it is a pleasure to drive if you like a highly manoeuvrable car that turns on a sixpence and corners like a fighter plane. Despite it's sporty ...

Review of Daewoo Lanos 1.6

Cheap and cheerful with room in the boot!

Advantages: Nice quiet engine
Disadvantages: A bit small

...imagine, I don't own a Daewoo Lanos 1.5 as I am only 14/15, however my dad does and as I am usually the only person to go in the car with him I thought I'd write an opinion on it. Firstly, it seems a very small and compact car with not much room, yes it is, but don't all good things come in small packages? It is very misleading as you can get a lot of stuff into the boot and there is even more room if you pull down the back seats. My dad and I managed ...
...going to need and the Daewoo Lanos suits it perfectly. Another benefit of this car is that the engine is shockingly quiet and you can very easily drop off to sleep as a passenger if you feel like it (this does not suggest that the driver can). Also even though it seems small on the outside it is very cosy inside once you get used to it, there is even room to lay out across the back!! (I'm lazy!). This is an amazingly reliable car considering its ...

Daewoo Tacuma 2.0 CDX Auto

Advantages: Cheap to buy with low mileage available at low cost
Disadvantages: Thirsty Petrol Tank

...wife and I bought a Daewoo Tacuma 2.0 CDX Automatic, manufactured in 2003. Our previous car had been very trustworthy, but with around 100k on the clock, and limited space with our growing family we really needed a new car. Our old one was beginning to fall apart too, and was becoming a source of embarrassment to be honest. The only problem was, we hardly had any money to spend and we had to get a car very cheaply, but it had to be reliable and ...
...too. This was a challenge and had been stressing me out for a month or so. After perusing many car dealerships, car publications, etc, I saw the Tacuma in a garage. It was the right size, immaculate inside and out, and had only done 26,000 miles. Now, I understand that this car is not economical. However, generally speaking we do very few miles and I cycle to work and back whenever I can. So where this car would be highly unsuitable for a family ...

Review of Daewoo Tacuma

Secondhand Daewoo Leganza SX (W) Registered 2000

Advantages: Value, comfort, size and condition, profile of usual previous owners
Disadvantages: Lack of reputation, availibility and cost of spares, a bit thirsty

December (2008) we urgently needed an honest car for under £1.000 GBP. This is actually harder than it sounds and was made much easier when we found a Leganza SX registered in 2000 with relatively low mileage of 62k. The book price for a private sale is ridiculous at £500-£600 and these are actually changing hands at about £995 with service history. In practice few other small or medium sized cars that are half decent can be found under £950,in ...
...to £2k. With a little more time or money we could have found a CDX at this price, however the SX (base model) we bought is still well equipped compared to mainstream models and we are pleased with it. If service history is poor it is important to negotiate payment or discount towards getting the cambelt (essential these are changed at 40k and 80k miles), auxilliary belts,also the oil changed as parts are expensive. Originally sold through Halfords, ...
