Used 2001 Daewoo Lanos Consumer Reviews
Ahead of the Pack
The 2001 Daewoo Lanos is a great car in so many ways. It's inexpensive, gets good gas mileage, is fun to drive (believe it!), and best of all, has the get-up-and-go of cars that cost a whole lot more. I drive 70 miles round-trip to work every day, and most of that is at speeds of 70-85 mph. My Lanos has no problem keeping up with (and passing) other cars on the road.

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. It's a great car! If they were still available for sale in the US I would go buy another brand new one.

Enjoying this vehicle
I'm grateful purchasing this car. I can't find a vehicle that I would pay $238.00 with ZERO down for 60 months. This car, I have found. Now it has almost 25K miles on it and hope it will last me for another 3 years cuz I drive across states between DC and CA 2 times a year during the break and school year. Let's see. NO PART REPLACED OR REPAIRED SINCE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.
