  It can take a beating. - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By Thomas Giakoumi - June 12 - 4:06 pm

  My 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 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.

  Auto Nubira 2001 - Value! - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By trevorbarren - July 20 - 9:06 pm

  I bought the car second hand after it had been driven almost 100,000 KM (in 2013), the cars fun to drive, has all the power you need and doesnt eat much fuel at all. I havnt had any problems at all except that the rear right window wont open from the drivers door controls (but it still opens if you open it from the rear button itself). Also you tend to hear a buzzing sound sometimes coming from the plastic around the door handle due to vibrations sometimes, but I guess that comes with the territory. Also the engines a bit louder than average (no problems). Mechanically the car is still going healthy, gearbox still in great condition, and an all around good car - value for money.

  Need Another One - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By Green Kepi - November 16 - 2:00 am

  Here it is almost 2011 and the old girl is still going strong. Nearly 200,000 miles. This car has paid for itself many times over! When it does die on me. Will be like losing a member of the family!

  Things started out good. - 2001 Daewoo Leganza
  By AudoribleAudrey - August 20 - 11:52 am

  I bought this car a couple of years ago with 70k, now we are at 111k and the cars engine TICKS like crazy! We have always done preventive maintenance (oil changes,timing belt, etc.) and the car keeps having issues. The air conditioning also went out (was perfectly ice cold for the first year I had it). My husband does like the power button, but I never use it. I wouldnt buy another Leganza.

  Great Car! Dont be afraid - 2000 Daewoo Leganza
  By Jswids - July 2 - 9:15 am

  Had this car for 8 yrs and had minimal problems. Repair shops will give you the run around if you dont know anything about cars. I can get practically any part for this at the local Autozone. If a mechanic wont touch it you need a new mechanic. He/she should be able to fix anything and its not rocket since. This car has 4 wheels and an engine just like every other car on the road. Much easier to work on than a VW for sure. I had my doubts when my wife bought it in 2002 but it has been a great vehicle and at 10 years old it looks amazing, is dependable, and cost us practically nothing to own. Great car! Too bad Daewoo went under here.

  Stopping without reason - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By student - March 29 - 7:36 pm

  The car stops for no reason at unexpected times, even on the freeway. Why? Does anyone have a clue? I like the car, looks good, nice to drive, nice features. I bought it for a great price but its not dependable.

  Still running strong - 2000 Daewoo Leganza
  By Ed - January 27 - 12:59 pm

  I bought this car new and was disappointed by not being told the brand was going belly up by the dealer. Other than that the car has 132,000 miles on it and still runs and drives great.No major problems and Ive never gotten bored with the car. I drive it 66 miles round trip to work and it has never left me stranded.Ill drive it as long as it goes. Love the heated mirrors a godsend in Michigan winters and the styling.The cup holders are to small for more than a can of pop.

  Love it - 2001 Daewoo Nubira
  By The Nubira - January 25 - 5:14 pm

  Had car for 5 years. Engine and tranny have never given any problems 100,000 miles still going strong. Only complaints are the ac goes in and out (Just a short i am sure) and the control arm bushings need replaced anywhere from 30k-80k. Payed $350 for driver side bushing and alignment. Replaced the passenger bushing myself in a weekend for $35. Part shipped fast from Daewoo. Easy fix for the do it yourselfer. The way the suspension is designed there is great stress on the bushings. They need replaced just like tires. But because of that design this car handles and rides very very nice. I am still amazed how nice it is when i drive it. Love the Daewoo!
