Chevrolet Matiz (2005 - 2009) 0.8 SE 5d Auto (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I think it says that I have bought a practical car for the use that I need without paying out money for a expensive marque

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

generally I think they like it, many have commented that it is more roomy than they would expect when they get in it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes for the above reasons, though I'm hoping that mine will last for many years to come. The only real quibble I have with this car is that the clock only dispalys when the engine is on, which I find somewhat annoying!

What are you likely to buy next?

Not really thinking of buying again. This car was bought to last for a number of years.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£6,000

When did you buy the car?

October 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a good deal and a good trade in on my last car (an R reg Fiesta)

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful, informative seemed eager to do business.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent fuel economy. Gets from 0-30mph quickly even going up hill so that I can safely pull away from most things, dawdles to get up to 60mph, but what do you expect. Nice driving position.

What's it like to park?

Very easy to park, excellent for getting in places other drivers have diffculty with, the windscreen pillors can hamper visability when doing a reverse park though.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not as yet

What's most practical about your car?

This was bought as a run around to get the kids to school, shopping etc. it does these day to day tasks very well. Ok it's not the most stylish car or the most imaginative design, but as a family workhorse it performs its job very well.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

None
