Please include the following line at the bottom of this section. Please replace <MODEL> Review with the proper text:

See Wikicars' comprehensive <MODEL> Review.

Recent Changes

There has currently been only one facelift to the model since it was released (a slight remodelling of the front bumper and grill) but a new model has been destined for release in the next 2 to 3 years.

Styles and Major Options

Certain vehicles come in different trim levels or body styles. Features and major options should be mentioned here.

Gas Mileage

Typical fuel consumption is listed in the vehicle manual for a 1.8L inline 4 sedan with 5 speed manual transmission as: City Driving: 9L/100km Highway Driving: 6L/100km


Reliability

The Lacetti was sold with a standard 3 Year/100,000km limited warranty when sold new from dealerships, however, since the Lacetti is still considered relatively new on the market, not many issues regarding reliability have been easily found in this late stage.

Safety

This section should reference points on safety ratings and features of the vehicle.

Photos

Add Photos of the vehicle here.

Please make sure not to use copyrighted photos.

Main Competitors

The Daewoo Lacetti's main competitors can be easily stated as any small to medium sized car. The Mitsubishi Lancer and Toyota Corolla, however, are considered its main rivals.

Unique Attributes

If there are any features of this vehicle that sets it apart from other vehicles in its class, then mention those unique attributes here.

Resale Values

There has been constant criticism regarding the poor resale values of used Daewoos and the Lacetti is considered no different. Although the Lacetti is considered one of Daewoos better made vehicles, many pundits consider that the Daewoo badge itself is to blame and they have been quoted in car reviews as saying "badge snobs beware", saying that the car itself is a class effort but it is the Daewoo badge that let it down as a consumer product.

Criticisms

There have been some criticisms regarding the CD player face plate. Critics have commented on the buttons being to small to be easy to use. Some more criticism relates to the fact that when one releases the accelerator pedal the engine tends to remain at the same revolutions before the pedal was released for a brief moment. Many have commented that other cars experience this similar issue but consider it just a "quirk" of the car.

Generations

Fill in as many as appropriate. Add more if necessary and pictures wherever applicable.

Please make sure NOT to use copyrighted pictures.

Current Generation: (YYYY–present)

Fifth generation (YYYY–YYYY)

Fourth generation (YYYY–YYYY)

Third generation (YYYY–YYYY)

Second generation (YYYY–YYYY)

First Generation/Origins (YYYY–YYYY)

Worldwide

If the vehicle is sold in other markets worldwide, then this is the section to mention that information. Also, mention if the <MODEL> goes by another name in these other markets.

Design quirks and oddities

  • The British television program Top Gear has been using the Daewoo Lacetti (Badged as a Chevrolet Lacetti in the UK) as the vehicle used by celebrities in the "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" segment of the show.

The previous car (A Suzuki Liana) was replaced at the start of Series 8 and host Jeremy Clarkson has commented on the fact that the Lacetti is easier to drive and over four seconds faster on a typical lap of the Top Gear circuit.

Awards

List out notable awards that the model has recieved while in production. Boldface the company or orgainization that gives out the award, and Italicize the name of the award.
