I bought a 2002 Daewoo Lanos with only 51,000 miles on it about 11 months ago. I bought this car when gas prices were at $4+ per gallon, and I got stuck needing a new car at the wrong time. I've always driven small 4 cylinder cars and prices on them soared last summer right when I needed to replace mine. This Lanos was the only thing I could find in my price range so I fell for it. The only car I've ever owned that was actually crappier than this car was an '86 Ford Escort. There really is no comparison between this car and the other 4 cylinders I've owned. I've owned Volkswagons, Toyotas, Nissans, Fords, etc. and this Daewoo is by far the cheapest piece of crap I've owned since the Escort. I can't believe that South Korea pawned this garbage off on us. I think anyone who speaks favorably about these cars has either never owned anything decent like a Toyota Corolla, or they are simply trying to convince themselves that the car isn't as bad as it is and that they didn't make a huge mistake in buying it. The car is a rattley, thin walled, chinsey piece of garbage. My main problem is that there's no market for them so I know that I won't be able to re-sell it. If I thought I could get even half of my money back out of it I would sell it today and buy a Toyota or a Volkswagon. Ahhhh...I feel better now. Thanks for listening. :^)

I joined a couple of months ago and spent a week reading old posts. The info I got was right on. I purchased a shop manual from DaewooUS, $10 for manual and $25 for shipping. The manual does not have wiring or vacuum diagrams, so I recommend buying them at the same time as the shop manual to cut down on shipping costs. Thank you mr shiftright.

Due to the economic crisis the place that carried and repaired Daewoos went out of business several months ago, does anyone know where to get a 2001 Daewoo Lanos Sport repaired in South Florida?

hi and thanks for any help Have a 2000 Leganza, 90,000 miles. I'm on my third timing belt (last one three months ago). Only driving 30 miles a week - last night the engine completely died when making left turn (had decelerated). Restarted immediately. Was only 2 blocks from home - made it but happened again as I pulled into driveway. Today, started fine and drove 3 or 4 miles. Any ideas? Other than problems with windows, no other trouble. (Driver's window won't budge, passenger window has to be opened from driver's side but will only close from passenger side but have to work with it), and sunroof no longer opens or closes. Can live with the windows but worried about total loss of power like that. Any suggestions or ideas? Does it have anything to do with last timing belt replacement? Thank you so much for any help.

Replying to: marciafar (Jun 18, 2009 2:59 pm) Are you sure it's the timing belt being replaced, or the serpentine belt (which is normal maintenance)? Anyway, you shouldn't have to have a new belt replaced that is only 3 months old. It either wasn't replaced correctly, or there is something else wrong. Window problems sound like bad switches, or low battery voltage. |

Can anyone give me any help as to why my 2002 Nubira fails to start in hot weather. There is plenty of power when I turn the key but it just will not start. I have changed the fuel filter but that has made no difference. I have to wait untilthe weather has coold down in the evening sometines several hours before it finally starts, with no problem. Thanks Coops1
