  the red bubble - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By Damien - September 29 - 7:18 pm

  Our 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.

  We bought TWO Lanos S sedans - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By Norm Wherrett - September 23 - 7:37 pm

  In February 2003, we bought two used 2002 Lanos S sedans sight-unseen from a wholesaler in Arizona for $3,650 each. Both cars were loaded, used only 10K miles, with remaining factory warranty. We could not be happier! They drive well, get 30+ mpg, and have been totally reliable. Factory recall [electrical] handed PDQ by local Daewoo dealer [our cars didnt have the problem]. Cars now have 21K each.

  Very happy with it - 1999 Daewoo Nubira

  Bought new, and its been good to us. We had a few minor issues: the timing belt snapped at 40k and thank goodness it was still under warranty. Other than that, only minor interior gripes: Overhead hand grip screw covers fell off, and the backlight went out on the environmental controls. Tires from stock were not the best. We are starting to develop a little corrosion on the aluminum roof rack, but after 6 years - not unexpected.

  Great car until there is a problem - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By frances1078 - May 19 - 11:34 am

  This is a great car at a great cheap price. I paid $4,000 dollars for my this car and it has taken me cross country on several occassions. I enjoy this car but when something goes wrong its hard to find someone that will look at it and hard to find parts to fix it.

  I Love My Daewoo! - 2001 Daewoo Lanos
  By Momma_84 - May 10 - 4:57 am

  Ive 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.

  Not as bad as they say - 2000 Daewoo Lanos
  By Ron - March 1 - 1:48 am

  This car didnt get the good reviews it deserved. I have owned this car for a little over 5 years and its been a reliable and very fuel efficent ride. I might buy me another one cause there so darn cheap right now!

  My BluWoo - 2002 Daewoo Lanos
  By PeeWee - February 18 - 8:23 pm

  I bought this car new with a/c, auto & a few other small things for $6,500! It feels like a cheap car but it was cheap. Not bad for the money though. Its roomy, comfortable, with decent pep.

  Not the worst car I ever bought - 2000 Daewoo Nubira
  By darryl daewoo - November 24 - 8:37 am

  Even though many people are down on these cars I have to say I have had little to know problems with this car. Of course finding parts and someone who knows the car hasnt been easy. The people at Daewoo have been very good about finding the right people to work on the car. So I have been lucky. I think the motor and transmission in the car are outstanding. Just a shame what GM did to all of us poor folks stuck with a Daewoo.

  Not bad for the price. - 1999 Daewoo Nubira
  By Mike5584 - November 14 - 1:30 am

  Bought the car used for $3000. Manual, only had 29k miles on it at the time. First week, needed new engine, water pump, timing belt, etc. Since then, needed few other parts, but for the price Im paying, I really cant complain. You get a lot for your money.
