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.

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.

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!

This is a great little entry level car, my wife bought one and she loves it!! Handles good and the fuel economy is great. I would recommend this car for PRICE factor alone, nothing compares to this PRICE. PERIOD.
Fun car

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.
Nice Lanos

I currently have over 20,000 plus miles and have had no trouble with the car. I have owned a Honda Civic and a Toyota Corolla and this car compares to them as far as reliability is concerned. The Lanos that I purchased was at least $5,000 to $7,000 less the Honda and Corolla that I was considering to purchase. this car has been a good finacial decision and has saved me a great deal of money and has proven to be a reliable vehicle. I would recommend the purchase of this vehicle to my friends and family.
NOT HAPPY!!

Had it for exactly one year and had NOT one problem with it, even after using a not so expensive oil and filter. Gave me greate milage.It felt very save at high speeds, and it definetly was a fun ride. I loved the fact that it was small, but still felt spacious inside. The sound system was good. In my country most taxis use this brand, so you can figure that it is a very reliable car. I only got rid of it and bought the Leganza, because the car became too small once my baby was born.
Lanos is no loser

I have driven this vehicle for one year and 30,000 miles. During that time I have averaged 32.4 miles per gallon and the only non-scheduled attention it has needed was a replacemtn windshield from a thrown rock. The car is spunky and handles my driving needs admirably. I cannot say enough. Too bad about the resale but I am keeping it till it is dead anyway.
Great Car for the money

I am a college professor and needed reliable transportation for a long, daily commute. The Lanos has been in Spain and Europe for several years before coming here and done remarkably well so I figured I would give it a try. Great price and after 22,000 miles in less than a year I have had not one problem with it. The car handles well on the interstate and has enough power to do reasonably well in traffic. Sorry to see that Daewoo won´t be staying here in the states. We certainly are missing out on a chance for economical and reliable transportation.
Lanos Sport

Very dependable, fun to drive subcompact. Comfortable front seats with good headroom and good forward visibility. Car rides well for such a short wheelbase, build quality is excellent and design is much better looking than the boxy looking VW Golf.
cheap 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...
Not Bad

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.
so far so GOOD!
