  too early to tell alot - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By kva - December 21 - 2:00 am

  so far the car is a pleasure to drive. performance is better than most cars in its class. comfort is fine for me and I am 6 200lb male. like the exterior design of the 4 door and the trunk space isnt bad either. Like everyone else have concern that car is being built in Korea and Vietnam by GM/Korea venture out of Chapt11.

  Lanos Sport - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By lanosdude - October 10 - 2:00 am

  Very dependable, fun to drive subcompact. Comfortable front seats with good headroom and good forward visibility. Car rides well for such a short wheelbase, build quality is excellent and design is much better looking than the boxy looking VW Golf.

  Great Car for the money - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By Ceworkman - August 13 - 2:00 am

  I am a college professor and needed reliable transportation for a long, daily commute. The Lanos has been in Spain and Europe for several years before coming here and done remarkably well so I figured I would give it a try. Great price and after 22,000 miles in less than a year I have had not one problem with it. The car handles well on the interstate and has enough power to do reasonably well in traffic. Sorry to see that Daewoo won´t be staying here in the states. We certainly are missing out on a chance for economical and reliable transportation.

  Lanos is no loser - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By tregaskis - August 3 - 2:00 am

  I have driven this vehicle for one year and 30,000 miles. During that time I have averaged 32.4 miles per gallon and the only non-scheduled attention it has needed was a replacemtn windshield from a thrown rock. The car is spunky and handles my driving needs admirably. I cannot say enough. Too bad about the resale but I am keeping it till it is dead anyway.

  Waste of money - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By Kelly S - July 30 - 2:00 am

  I am totally not happy with this car. I would never recommend this car to anyone. Yeah it looks cute. But when anything happens, dont expect to get your car back for at least 2 1/2 weeks. One time my car was in the shop for 3 months straight, then it had to be towed from M.D to N.Y, then it was in the shop for another month, then 2 weeks another time. It is ridiculous. I am trying to get rid of this car as we speak b/c basically the car is made of glue. Not worth spending your money on, even if it is your first car. By the way if you dont know already Daewoo went bankrupt. Keep that in mind.

  Good buy for beginers - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By DChaquea - June 25 - 2:00 am

  Had it for exactly one year and had NOT one problem with it, even after using a not so expensive oil and filter. Gave me greate milage.It felt very save at high speeds, and it definetly was a fun ride. I loved the fact that it was small, but still felt spacious inside. The sound system was good. In my country most taxis use this brand, so you can figure that it is a very reliable car. I only got rid of it and bought the Leganza, because the car became too small once my baby was born.

  Reliable Vehicle - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By Mark B - April 25 - 2:00 am

  I currently have over 20,000 plus miles and have had no trouble with the car. I have owned a Honda Civic and a Toyota Corolla and this car compares to them as far as reliability is concerned. The Lanos that I purchased was at least $5,000 to $7,000 less the Honda and Corolla that I was considering to purchase. this car has been a good finacial decision and has saved me a great deal of money and has proven to be a reliable vehicle. I would recommend the purchase of this vehicle to my friends and family.
