Daewoo Lanos Hatchback 1.4 S 3d (97) (1998/R) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Was cheap to buy at £5k when 18 months old with 7k miles.
Costs
Daewoo parts expensive. AA garages provide value for money.

On the road
Driving
Better than a Rover 25, as good as most similar cars.
Performance
Reasonable.

Living with it
Reliability
Wheel bearings have needed replacement but always got home.
Image
Poor image, not deserved. Well screwed together, no rattles even after 70k miles.
Comfort
Reasonable. Seat fabric could be better.
-
Security and Service
Security
Daewoo badge guarantees to repel thieves so who needs an alarm?
Service
Daewoo appear to have given up on the UK. If there was a dealer back up I would consider another Daewoo.
