Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes
Pros: very quick, cheap insurance, loads of room, reliable (quite the work horse!)
Cons: parts hard to find, diagnostics have to be done by dealer rather than local garage
The Bottom Line: Given the choice i'd have an aston martin, but a daewoo lanos gets you from A to B just as good!
Well a little over three years ago i was a learner driver driving around in a 1.1l M reg ford fiesta, bit of an old shed if i'm honest! Due to a move to a house with an awkward drive my mother decided that there was no way that she was gonna drive her ... read more

Pros: Good Fuel Efficiency
Dual front Airbags
Comfy Front seats
Nice looking body
Cons: Weak AM/FM radio
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap and efficient car.

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliable, fun to drive, affordable, good mileage
Cons: Hey, you get what you pay for
The Bottom Line: Great for someone who's on a budget and needs a dependable vehicle. Not for someone wants anything fancy. This is a BASIC car.
I recently sold my big family van. I then started my search for a little used car from which I expected some amount of reliability for the money I intended to spend, as well as good gas mileage. (How refreshing that would be after the van...) I was on ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Pretty roomy, great gas mileage, inexpensive
Cons: Not the fastest thing on four wheels
The Bottom Line: For what I paid for it, you can't beat it.
I just go this 3 door Lanos S in 01/03. 50% discount on remaining inventory is tough to pass up. 2000 miles later I am still happy with my purchase. No problems, great gas mileage (35 mpg average). Not the fastest thing off the lights, but have ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No 
Pros: Cheap, comfortable, good trunk space
Cons: Fragile, not a good value for its class, the radio security is annoying
The Bottom Line: If you want a fragile, fuel efficient car for around $10,000 like this, go with the Hyundai Accent. You'll get more for less money.
A Word About This Type of Car Let me first start off by telling you that I am biased with regards to cars. I got in an accident in my Subaru Forester in August of 2001 and after that I have trouble endorsing cars that I probably would have died ... read more

Pros: Economical, Stylish, and affordable
Cons: Not a very fast car
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a car and do not have that much money the Daewoo Lanos is a really great car. It’s stylish, economical, and affordable.
Its solid engineering reassures you on the drive to work or school. Its fuel efficiency pleasantly surprises you at the gas pump. And with exceptional quality in a fun-to-drive package that inspires you at every turn, the Lanos will no doubt convince you ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good car for the price. Roomy trunk. Smooth ride.
Cons: Cupholder in a bad place. Defroster not very effective.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend it to anyone who is a commuter, good car for tight parking. Nice size for taking the kids to school and grocery shopping.
Back in August, I purchased a brand new 2001 Daewoo Lanos. It is a 2 door hatchback. It's been a few months now, and I don't have any major complaints.
I'm not saying the car is perfect, but I think it is a good car for the price. Altogether, ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No
Pros: Cheap sticker price,good on gas,Thats about all you get.
Cons: Cup holders,poor quality seats,no clock on radio,poor gas mileage(if pushed)
The Bottom Line: If you have no choice or limited choices then go ahead but if you have good credit or lots of cash then avoid this one.
I bought this car in October of 2001 and i really had no choice because my 1990 Acura Integra RS was at 179,000 miles and had many problems and it was either trade it or be stuck with a dead car. So when the car salesman was looking at my 90 Acura ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent design, great gas mileage, fairly roomy.
Cons: Had 7 months - so far the cup holders are the only complaint.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for an affordable car that will get you from point A to point B, I recommend to keep Daewoos as one of your options.
As I started looking for a new car, my options were Honda Civic, Volkswagen Golf or Volkswagen Jetta. Because I am in college I need a small size car to be able to squeeze it anywhere there is a tiny gap. The Jetta was too big, while the Golf could work. ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very cheap, great warranty, good gas milage, roomy, lots of trunk space
Cons: No "oomph", poor seats & controls
The Bottom Line: This car is great if you are on a budget and won't spend thousands on flashy features. If you like a Hondas this is a great alternative.
I bought a fully loaded sedan (4d) new while on the market for a used Honda. I had really wanted to buy a Honda, but when it came down to price and I realized I was going to buy a Honda with lots of miles for the same price, I figured I'd go with the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No
Pros: Nice styling, smooth ride, intuitive controls, pretty spacious for its size.
Cons: Awkward steering, flimsy cupholder, acceleration is mediocre.
The Bottom Line: It's an ok car, but I'd save up a little more for Honda or Toyota.
I rented the fully loaded sedan for a couple days. My biggest complaint by far was the steering and steering wheel. The power steering at times felt somewhat removed, like driving in an old video game. I like to be able to feel the road at least a ... read more

Pros: Reliability, cheap to acquire and to operate
Cons: Uncertain future following DMCA's bankruptcy; feels a bit cheap
In February of 2002, I bought a new 2001 Lanos for my daughter to use. It now has over 21,000 miles on it. The car has been completely reliable. The only problem encountered so far is that the glass portion of the outside rear view mirror on the
