Used 2001 Daewoo Lanos Consumer Reviews
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.
inexpensive transportation
The car is very reliable. The air is cold and is comfortable for 5 passengers. The trunk is spacious enough to toss in golf clubs, etc.
Small car for a big guy
I'm 5 foot 9 inches and weigh in at 305 pounds. I recently test drove a 97 Saturn SL1, a 96 Chevy Lumina, a 95 Buick Skylark, a 99 Ford Escort, and the 'woo. Guess which one is the *only* one I fit into comfortably, *without* benefit of tilt-wheel. Yup. I slide in and out of the Lanos like it's a Lincoln. Unbeleivable. I can even ride comfortably in the back. the 2001 Lanos was also the least expensive of the above cars, and only had 5700 miles, leftover warranty, and plenty of options. A perfect used car, if you can find someone willing to part with theirs.

I love driving this car! It's fun and it looks great. Not to mention the approximately 28 mpg I get with all the driving that I do. Awesome!
Best car ever
I have had the car since it was new. Bought it right off the showroom floor in October of 2000. In the 14 years of owning it its only needed minor maintence. In 2001 and in 2002 it needed brakes both times as the factory brakes were defective from the beginning. It needed more brakes in 2009 when a mechanical failure occured. In 2008 it needed a new battery the OEM battery lasted 8 yrs, In 2013 it needed brake lines and a brake hose and in 2014 it needed a new thermostat. All in all this car is great it is dependable and it has lasted most of 14 years on just oil changes. Only problem ive had with it is the fact the A/C never worked from the getgo
