Daewoo Lanos

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 ...

Review of Daewoo Lanos 1.5

Daewoo Lanos 1.6 Automatic Saloon - Beautiful!

Advantages: reliable, hard working, good looking, spacious, comfortable,
Disadvantages: retail value drops a terrifying amount which is good for second handers.

My Daewoo Lanos 1.6 Automatic saloon is a real find. It was my first Daewoo and I have had it from new since August 2003. I've never had a problem or fault with it and it feels spacious, luxurious in many ways and I can't fault the car or the Daewoo service. My only problem is that Daewoo does not hold it's value. I was shocked to have spent nearly £10,000 on it and to find two years later that is was worth £2400 but as I intend to keep it, it is ...
...the gears, the car feels stable and secure on the road, and even in high winds. The car parts are quick, easy and cheap to get (I needed a new side mirror and had no problem getting hold of one that same day) and the whole car feels more substantial and hard wearing than many. The petrol tank doesn't hold as much as I would like but this is hardly a major problem. I would happily replace this car with another the same and so would recommend this ...

Review of Daewoo Lanos 1.6

My Lanos

Advantages: Nippy, comfortable, ideal
Disadvantages: Tricky to put petrol in

I got my Lanos second hand about a year ago, and I paid £800 for a very decent S reg car. It's the first car I've ever owned, and absolutely ideal for my purposes. To being with, it's very spacious, much more than first appearances might let on. The boot is the perfect size...we manage to fit into it a months worth of shopping for three people comfortably. No issues on cold mornings, or any weather in fact. The only little niggle I have is that I've ...
