Like it, but has issues
I had my Daewoo Lanos for about 7 months now and I like it so far and I haven't had issues with it until now. all just minor for a car with 60k (front and rear brakes, tie rod, RF Caliper, and electrical issues). Gas mileage is ok on this car. I average around 300 miles to a tank of gas. It's pretty fun to drive, but parts are hard to find and I have to order even the easiest of parts for it.
Awesome little car.
Very economical, Seats get worn some, and I have the same problem with the passenger seat moving back on its own. Most repairs are easy to work on. Cup holder would be better in a different place. Paint came off the hubcaps. Very sorry the company went under.

Dae who?
bought it new, bumper to bumper everything covered for 36ooo, even wipers.now have 75000, still like new. only brakes & tires replaced, knock on wood. would do it over, may do it again if they still make in 2005 or 06.
Wow
Wow, all I heard when buying this car was that it was a mistake but I have not regretted owning this car once. I bought it used with 40,000 miles on it in 2003. I now have 128,000 miles on it and have only had one problem (a wire came loose from the loom and melted and had to be replaced). I am pleased with the car overall although I believe a little more power would have been nice on the interstate. I performed all maintenance before or at the required time and I believe that is the key to the longevity of these cars.
daewoo lover
Had this car for 4 years. Had to take it back twice for engine sensor-no big deal. Awesome on turns...so much fun to whip it around. Pity no more Daewoos!!
excellent for the money
I got more than I expected for what I paid. Has 28,500 miles, never had any problems, changed oil and filters at the required maintenance schedule. The pain peel off the hub caps, the dealer gave 4 newones at no cost. Gets 32 mpg in the winter and 35 mpg in the rest of the year, and that's average, 30%town and 70% hway. Has a GM engine built in Australia.
Excellent value!
When I bought my Lanos brand new, I was looking for a low-maintenance, highly fuel economic vehicle that I could afford during college while only having a part-time job. Four years later, I would still be driving it if I were not a mother who needs space for a carseat!
I love my litter bug!!!
I have this car for about 3 1/2 years and I only have had minor problems due to the normal use, and unluckly with this car since I had a accident 6 months after I bought it, but the Daewoo dealer took care of everything, and basicly they rebuilt my car and I could not believe it still drive perfect with no noise and no problems ...And so far I had only change oil, tires, and brake pads. But the only thing I don't like is the noise that my car make and when accelate with the AC it loses power. I would buy it again if they had 2005/06, because I would not sale my car before then, there is no need, it is a excellent economic car car
Thank you, Daewoo!
I bought my 5-speed Lanos hatchback brand new in 2000 and have not had any problems with it at all. The car has started every time and handles well. I made sure to get all my oil changes every 3000 miles and I replaced my timing belt at 55,000 miles. There was a recall involving one of the sensors back in 2003 or so, but aside from that and buying new tires and a muffler, I haven't put a lot of money into this car at all. It's good on gas, has cheap insurance, is easy to park, corners well, and even has a bit of speed to go along with it. I think this car has served me so well because I've taken care of it as far as maintenance is concerned. Even if it died tomorrow, it's been worth it.
Better than expected
I have this car for more than 5 years. The most expensive repair was under $100, so I consider it to be very reliable. It's peppy, fun to drive, easy to make U turns in one lane, or park in small space. I would recommend it to everybody, except for the lack of dealerships and spare parts (although the spare parts seem to be easier to get hold off recently).
