Daewoo Lanos Hatchback
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bought second hand for £3k, 42k miles - no problems since (apart from some scalleys in Stafford snapping the aerial).

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good, cheap non-dealer servicable as it's an astra 1.4.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Does the job, smooth and quiet. Hits high enough speeds - quietly - to hold a spot in the fast lane.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    If you rev it a bit, unloaded, it'll get away with some haste.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Well, it can't be too good...

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Well placed rear seating provides plenty of space for all.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Immobiliser and little flashing LED.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Non-dealer services are cheap as all parts can be sourced from an Astra!
