2002 Daewoo Lanos S 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I bought a 2002 Daewoo Lanos with only 51,000 miles on it about 11 months ago. I bought this car when gas prices were at $4+ per gallon, and I got stuck needing a new car at the wrong time. I've always driven small 4 cylinder cars and prices on them soared last summer right when I needed to replace mine. This Lanos was the only thing I could find in my price range so I fell for it. The only car I've ever owned that was actually crappier than this car was an '86 Ford Escort. There really is no comparison between this car and the other 4 cylinders I've owned. I've owned Volkswagons, Toyotas, Nissans, Fords, etc. and this Daewoo is by far the cheapest piece of junk I've owned since the Escort.

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.

Review
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 didn't have the problem]. Cars now have 21K each.

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.

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!

Review
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.

I bought my Woo [used even though new]
for around 8,000 bones, equipped with
airbags, CD and cassette, and a Stealth
alarm system. I left the lot with a
reading of 8 miles. Today it reads 4604
[I know, I know. That isn't a lot]. So
far, I haven't had any problems [except
an occasional rattling, probably due to
the kind of music I play >:)], and I
don't expect any [actually, I'm hoping
there wont be any, because its going to
be hella hard to find service and
parts]. I've had more fun driving this
little car, than I've had with my
parent's SUV [my dog likes it too].
Weaving in and out of traffic is more
fun than ever!!! I can't wait to soup
this baby up...

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 isn't bad either. Like everyone
else have concern that car is being
built in Korea and Vietnam by GM/Korea
venture out of Chapt11.
