  Daewoo = Zero problems - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By Phil - August 2 - 3:47 pm

  I owned this car for 4 1/2 years without ever having a single problem. It had 30,000 miles on it when I bought it and I used synthetic oil the whole time which is a no-brainer for any car. Granted I only drove about 5000 miles a year, but the car was the picture of reliability. The new Subaru WRX actually looks like a Lanos. The style still looks good today and there is plenty of leg and head room. Did I get lucky and get a trouble free car? From what Ive read, I suppose that is possible. All I know is that I would buy another one in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anyone who wants an inexpensive, reliable car. The chassis was designed by Porsche...yes that Porsche.

  Great reliable car! - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By Dmitriy from Raleigh - January 17 - 5:10 pm

  This is a great reliable car! I have been driving it for 6 years and it has 98,000 miles on it. I didnt have any problems with it other than replacing a thermostat recently. I have a 5-speed manual transmission and recommend it to everyone. Its fun to drive and gives you full control over the car. It also has great gas mileage and a lot of room for the driver and a front passenger (I am 63" tall). Yes, it is harder to get parts for it compared to lets say Chevy or Ford, but it is not that hard as many people think. You can easily find any part online if a local body shop doesnt has it and its going to be much cheaper as well.

  Better than expected - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By Bobby - October 14 - 5:25 pm

  I have this car for more than 5 years. The most expensive repair was under $100, so I consider it to be very reliable. Its peppy, fun to drive, easy to make U turns in one lane, or park in small space. I would recommend it to everybody, except for the lack of dealerships and spare parts (although the spare parts seem to be easier to get hold off recently).

  Excellent value! - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By RobertsT - July 26 - 2:00 am

  When I bought my Lanos brand new, I was looking for a low-maintenance, highly fuel economic vehicle that I could afford during college while only having a part-time job. Four years later, I would still be driving it if I were not a mother who needs space for a carseat!

  I am very pleased with my purchase, I have bought 2 of these cars and love it. The cars are not worth to the dealers, but they are worth every penny to me, the buyer. They show a high class of every option and are very affordable to any person.

  the WooWoo.. - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By Greyflash - December 31 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car , after my Honda Civic was stolen, not knowing it was a corporate orphan. Nevertheless, It has a better radio (4 spkrs) than my Civic, rear windows pop out, & seats are most comfortable. I had the windows tinted, & installed sheepskin seatcovers. It has been a great car, & dependable. Only expenses in a year & 1/2 are two tires (Fr.), new battery, & wiper blades!

  Daewoo 2000 Lanos S Hatchback - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By Leif - July 3 - 2:00 am

  As a second vehicle to my BMW 740i, Ive used this vehicle as a get around town car, and it has performed well without any major problems. It has some hard working 22,500 miles on it. The only problem associated with it has been the headlight connections burned out on each side. A trip to the dealer took care of the problem before Daewoo closed their doors. Roomy for its size and a wonderfully cold air conditioner has been appreciated. The ride is a bit rough on torn up streets, but it isnt rattling and noisy while driving. It keeps up with the traffic and parking is a breeze. The paint is still glossy and clean after years of being in the elements.

  Too bad Daewoo went bankrupt - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By Diesel Power - March 21 - 2:00 am

  I just purchased my Lanos SX on Ebay about two weeks ago. Ive put nearly 1,000 miles on it already. The car was a steal. $4350 for a LOADED three year old car with only 3,150 miles on it. Its too bad that Daewoo went under. I was expecting a slow car with the automatic tranny. Now Im looking to install a cruise control to keep my speeds in check. Fit and finish is superb, the car is quiet on the highway. Ive caught myself running upwards of 80 mph without realizing it. Fuel economy is in the mid 30s - again not bad for an automatic.

  By langston - September 18 - 2:00 am

  The car is great on the road, good on turns. It feels larger inside than it looks on the outside. Bought it through ebay, didnt know what is was like, never drove one before. I was really suprised at the handleing, great car.
