Daewoo Lanos

The Lanos is cheap to buy, has reliable engines and is reasonably practical.Almost every rival to the Lanos is more capable on the road. The car fidgets and jiggles all over the place unless you’re on a totally flat surface, and the body roll through corners will leave you braking hard before roundabouts. To cap it all, the steering is vague and unresponsive.Of the two engines, the 1.4-litre engine is the better bet. The 1.6 gets very noisy if you need even slightly high revs, and although the smaller engine has to work harder, it's smoother and quieter while it's doing it. However, you'll suffer from a lot of wind and road noise whatever engine you have under the bonnet.Inside, things don't get much better. The interior is bland and grey, and while all the switchgear falls easily to hand, there seems to have been no thought given to style or design.The steering wheel has rake adjustment, but the seats don't give enough support. And, although there’s a decent amount of head and knee space in both the front and back, the rear bench is only really comfortable for two.
