  GREAT SMALL CAR - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By cristian - September 5 - 6:15 pm

  Every one talks bad about the car since brand is not well known, but if go in to detail youll see this daewoo stopped production on 2002 but the car itself (machine under chasis) continue to be produce under different makes and model names. This is way people would say (You will never find parts for that car) and when you go online youll find that engine search like amazon or Google would say this car fits several parts from different makes, so guess what!!! you have more parts than any one car out there. now, when it comes to cheap yes, is a cheap and reliable car, dont complain about this car saying how crappy [non-permissible content removed] it is, is true is cheap, but thats what youre paying, dont compare it to a bmw or fancy one, as far I myself Ive one bought this year and got clear was a cheap standar car, no bad or excellent at all, but it turned out to be a very good reliable car, super smooth to drive not as hard as the volskwagen jetta Ive had before and being a better make, but this one comes out ahead on comfort, overall Im happy with this car, is just what I was looking for and what I need.

  2nd Worst Car Ive Ever Owned - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By AnyComonSens - June 3 - 8:03 am

  I bought a 2002 Daewoo Lanos with only 51,000 miles on it about 11 months ago. I bought this car when gas prices were at $4+ per gallon, and I got stuck needing a new car at the wrong time. Ive always driven small 4 cylinder cars and prices on them soared last summer right when I needed to replace mine. This Lanos was the only thing I could find in my price range so I fell for it. The only car Ive ever owned that was actually crappier than this car was an 86 Ford Escort. There really is no comparison between this car and the other 4 cylinders Ive owned. Ive owned Volkswagons, Toyotas, Nissans, Fords, etc. and this Daewoo is by far the cheapest piece of junk Ive owned since the Escort.

  Fun car - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By jgirt246 - July 26 - 3:02 pm

  I purchased for fuel saving. Drove it for about 8 months then threw a rod. Its been sitting in my driveway since June of 07. No one will even look at it. They say there are no parts availible and they cant work on these anymore. But when it was running it was a great car. Broke down at 61xxx miles.

  We bought TWO Lanos S sedans - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By Norm Wherrett - September 23 - 7:37 pm

  In February 2003, we bought two used 2002 Lanos S sedans sight-unseen from a wholesaler in Arizona for $3,650 each. Both cars were loaded, used only 10K miles, with remaining factory warranty. We could not be happier! They drive well, get 30+ mpg, and have been totally reliable. Factory recall [electrical] handed PDQ by local Daewoo dealer [our cars didnt have the problem]. Cars now have 21K each.

  My BluWoo - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By PeeWee - February 18 - 8:23 pm

  I bought this car new with a/c, auto & a few other small things for $6,500! It feels like a cheap car but it was cheap. Not bad for the money though. Its roomy, comfortable, with decent pep.

  Dont Give Up - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By dk1706 - July 27 - 2:00 am

  The car is excellent! I was also thinking twice on how on earth am I going to get parts for Daewoo since they are no longer in the US. Then the Chevy Aveo comes out and the Suzuki Reno in the US, which are rebadged, Daewoo Kalos and the Daewoo Lecetti in europe also the Reno is called the Chevy Optra in Canada. The Chevy Aveo has a 1.6L engine the same as the Lanos. This solves engine parts problems.

  daewoo - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By smilinfc - November 17 - 2:00 am

  THis is a really great car. Its unfortunate that they dont make them in the US anymore. I havent had a single problem with it ever. If they were still made here I would buy another in a heart beat!

  Not Bad - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By Bitsy - January 28 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car new for $7995. It came with the comfort package, A/C, PS. It also had the floor mats. A pretty good value. I really had not planned to buy this car but the price made it attractive. Test driving sealed the deal. This little car has good pickup, it can manuever well in highway traffic. It is very comfortable for an econo-bubble and a real pleasure to drive. The power rack and pinion steering gives it very positve responsive handling. The five speed stick gives it the feel of a European sports car.

  Do the Woo!!! - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By Dumbfound - January 17 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Woo [used even though new] for around 8,000 bones, equipped with airbags, CD and cassette, and a Stealth alarm system. I left the lot with a reading of 8 miles. Today it reads 4604 [I know, I know. That isnt a lot]. So far, I havent had any problems [except an occasional rattling, probably due to the kind of music I play >:)], and I dont expect any [actually, Im hoping there wont be any, because its going to be hella hard to find service and parts]. Ive had more fun driving this little car, than Ive had with my parents SUV [my dog likes it too]. Weaving in and out of traffic is more fun than ever!!! I cant wait to soup this baby up...
