  The best first car! - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By Abbey - December 26 - 11:42 pm

  These cars are a rare sighting these days and I often wonder if I am driving the only Daewoo left on the road. My grandmother gave me this car about 4.5 years ago because she was afraid of not being able to get parts. The car was in perfect shape with only 39k miles. I have since driven this car very hard, I commute an hour to school in all weather (western NY winters!) and put a lot of miles on it. I may [non-permissible content removed] from everyone who sees it but I truly love this car! For being 15 years old Margaret needs minimal repairs and gets me where I need to go. It will truly be a sad day when I have to get a new vehicle.

  Best car ever - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By leothelion89 - May 23 - 10:01 am

  I have had the car since it was new. Bought it right off the showroom floor in October of 2000. In the 14 years of owning it its only needed minor maintence. In 2001 and in 2002 it needed brakes both times as the factory brakes were defective from the beginning. It needed more brakes in 2009 when a mechanical failure occured. In 2008 it needed a new battery the OEM battery lasted 8 yrs, In 2013 it needed brake lines and a brake hose and in 2014 it needed a new thermostat. All in all this car is great it is dependable and it has lasted most of 14 years on just oil changes. Only problem ive had with it is the fact the A/C never worked from the getgo

  LoveALanos - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By MyLanos - September 8 - 2:00 am

  I was interested in a hyundai excel until i test drove the daewoo lanos and fell in love. It is a great little car, and the only thing i have replaced in the 4 years i have had it is the battery.I am glad i went with daewoo now as a friend bought the hyundai excel and has had nothing but probs with it.The daewoo lanos is better on fuel, has less road noise, and is actually faster, and to top it all off our family of four fit perfectly in it. Greatest purchase i ever made.Even the hubby(ford ute man) loves to drive it and i have trouble getting the keys back off him! The only problem i have found is the headlights arent that great, even after putting better globes in but all up,i love my lanos

  Great Experience my first time around - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By RACH - January 24 - 10:43 am

  When I bought the car (my first) I was very skeptical, but I have never regretted it for a minute. I have had my woo for almost three years and it has never broken down, and has only needed its regular maintenance. Ive driven it across the Midwest at least three times, and from Missouri to New York and back without a care. The only issue I have had to deal with was a recall on a small part in the engine, which was replaced at no cost. It is very easy to drive, and runs just fine in winter weather. Stinks that parts are getting scarce if I do have a break.

  2001 Lanos Sport Review - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By djohn76 - January 16 - 2:00 am

  The most BANG for your buck! Only wish it got a little better gas milage. But overall excellent performance, style and for the money, comfort. Its too bad that Generous Motors had to pull the plug on the American Based portion. For a large company, they sure were scared of a small company making a dent in their precious sales. I will never buy another General Motors product again.

  inexpensive transportation - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By Bulldog260 - June 16 - 2:00 am

  The car is very reliable. The air is cold and is comfortable for 5 passengers. The trunk is spacious enough to toss in golf clubs, etc.

  Ahead of the Pack - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By sharklover - March 13 - 2:00 am

  The 2001 Daewoo Lanos is a great car in so many ways. Its inexpensive, gets good gas mileage, is fun to drive (believe it!), and best of all, has the get-up-and-go of cars that cost a whole lot more. I drive 70 miles round-trip to work every day, and most of that is at speeds of 70-85 mph. My Lanos has no problem keeping up with (and passing) other cars on the road.
