Review of the 2002 Daewoo Lanos

  • Daewoo's new owner, General Motors, has no plans for the brand in the U.S. market -- as such, supplies to dealerships have been cut off. Although provisions will be made to honor owners' warranty claims, we'd urge you to steer clear of this situation and check out a Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio instead.

  • Safety

  • Pros

    Snazzy styling, cheap sticker prices, fun in turns.

  • Cons

    Daewoo's impending death in U.S. market, unproven reliability, whiny engine, cheap interior materials, ABS isn't available.

  • What's New for 2002

    A new Comfort Package for the S Hatchback and S Sedan includes air conditioning and power steering, while the Convenience Package adds power windows, power locks and a power passenger-side exterior mirror.

Fun car

Vehicle: 2002 Daewoo Lanos S 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

I purchased for fuel saving. Drove it for about 8 months then threw a rod. It's been sitting in my driveway since June of 07. No one will even look at it. They say there are no parts availible and they cant work on these anymore. But when it was running it was a great car. Broke down at 61xxx miles.

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. It's roomy, comfortable, with decent pep.

Vehicle: 2002 Daewoo Lanos Sport 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

The car is excellent! I was also thinking twice on how on earth am I going to get parts for Daewoo since they are no longer in the US. Then the Chevy Aveo comes out and the Suzuki Reno in the US, which are rebadged, Daewoo Kalos and the Daewoo Lecetti in europe also the Reno is called the Chevy Optra in Canada. The Chevy Aveo has a 1.6L engine the same as the Lanos. This solves engine parts problems.

THis is a really great car. It's unfortunate that they dont make them in the US anymore. I havent had a single problem with it ever. If they were still made here I would buy another in a heart beat!



So far so good!

Vehicle: 2002 Daewoo Lanos S 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

I bought this car new for $7995. It came with the comfort package, A/C, PS. It also had the floor mats. A pretty good value. I really had not planned to buy this car but the price made it attractive. Test driving sealed the deal. This little car has good pickup, it can manuever well in highway traffic. It is very comfortable for an econo-bubble and a real pleasure to drive. The power rack and pinion steering gives it very positve responsive handling. The five speed stick gives it the feel of a European sports car.
