It can take a beating. - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
By Thomas Giakoumi - June 12 - 4:06 pmMy mom bought this car new in 2001. I learned how to drive using this car. Later on I got this car when my mom moved away and I put 15 inch rims and a exhaust system. Now the car has 151000 km and it still runs fine even though we leave it sitting outside for one year since we only come here summers and it starts up just fine. It is upsetting that I can afford a much better car but because the Lanos has so much sentiment and still runs I cant get rid of it. I have an add online for its sale and I am rude to everyone that calls about it. Now this car has been to every Greek Island. I have beaten it to death in off-road situations trying to find the next cool place to smoke weed or have sex. I have taken long 3-5 hours trips hitting topspeed of 190 km the whole time at insane 6000rpm redlining the whole way. I have moved entire homes with this car several times with so much weight the wheels were rubbing against the frame. I have banged it up like you wouldnt imagine and my mom who is a bad driver has destroyed every bumper and panel. I have yet to see any rust. This car has had the worst treatment from a young and dumb driver. 20 years later here it is a constant reminder of everything stupid I have done with it. Now while my new Toyota Prius has its fair share of problems. This little cheapo Korean box still runs after two accidents and two bad drivers. Insane how sometimes things that shouldnt work do. And also no one will ever steal and you can drive around in the ghetto with windows down no one will rob you. You cannot kill a Daewoo Lanos. It might outlive me.

Great Value car - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
By dustyn12 - June 3 - 5:57 pmMy Daewoo Lanos has been really good. The seats are really nice and very comfortable although ride is fairly rough. Mine has the cassette/CD combination stereo that is very nice for the price and has a large colorful display but the track up button does not work and does not remember where you are on a song when turned off. Although I do wish that the car had larger visors. Performance is actually a little understated and does really well considering the small engine size. Overall I would definitely recommend this car.

Good car but has a lot against it - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
By dustyn12 - November 29 - 6:43 pmI just recently bought this car and although it was in fairly rough condition when I bought it, it was a good value for the price. They really cheaped out on parts of the car like the visors, controls as well as other areas that wouldnt hurt to of improved a little bit more. Stereo is great but the cd player will start the song over if turned off and the track up button sometime goes down instead of up. The cupholder blocks the cd player and buttons are often hidden. Stereo is mounted low. Overall is a great car for the price, just make sure you find an incredible deal like I did.

the red bubble - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
By Damien - September 29 - 7:18 pmOur family purchased the vehicle new in Sept. 2001. It had 2 miles upon delivery. The vehicle was used to commute 5 days a week from Sussex NJ to Wayne NJ. The upper half of motor was rebuilt at around 75k. Timing chain snapped and damaged motor. The odometer is creeping up on 100k. The air is still cold, it still drives in a straight line and only had 3 alignments in 4 years. The original fuel pump is still pumping. The automatic transaxle still shifts smoothly with nearly 100k. My friends liked it as much as I do and I wish more people appreciated the car. Its a great car! If they were still available for sale in the US I would go buy another brand new one.

I Love My Daewoo! - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
By Momma_84 - May 10 - 4:57 amIve only had the Lanos, Daewoo for less than a month. I really like the car because the size, comfort, and style. It only takes $20.00 to fill it up. The gas mileage is great. I get around 23-28 miles to gallon and on long trips Im sure Ill get even better. The steering is very tight and when ever you turn the wheel you better make sure you want to turn then because thats what you are going to do. I just like the over all experience that I have had with my car already.

Good, for now... - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
By Daewho? - August 7 - 2:00 amI have had the car since 2001 with only 28 miles on it. I know have over 40,000 miles on it and the only problem I have had with it is replacing the upper coolant hose & O ring. Not bad, but I had to overnight the parts, otherwise it would take 4-5 days just to get the part. Plus, my dealrhsip doesnt deal with Daewoos anymore so if I need a repair I have to go somewhere else, and Daewoo dealers are getting scarece. I do enjoy the size, as I am in Chicago and parking there is tough, but not for me! And you cant beat $13 for gas each week, and I drive well over 200 miels a week.

Enjoying this vehicle - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
By NICELANOS - March 1 - 2:00 amIm grateful purchasing this car. I cant find a vehicle that I would pay $238.00 with ZERO down for 60 months. This car, I have found. Now it has almost 25K miles on it and hope it will last me for another 3 years cuz I drive across states between DC and CA 2 times a year during the break and school year. Lets see. NO PART REPLACED OR REPAIRED SINCE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.

Get One While You Can - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
By Simon Marchant - February 21 - 2:00 amWhat a great little car. Fun to drive, room in the back for adults, great gas mileage, reliable and inexpensive. If you want one get it now while dealers are selling them off with huge discounts. I got mine at 50% off of sticker, brand new. A couple of quick modifications will knock almost 2 seconds off of the 0-60 time. Very pleased. Good build quality and comfortable to travel around in.
