Chevrolet Matiz (2005 - 2005) 1.0 SE+ 5d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm cheap! I mean frugal ;)

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

so far they like it - say its comfy and roomy (those that have been in it!)

Would you buy this car again and why?

Not this exact one! I would be careful to make sure I bought the model with lower CO2 emmissions to drive down the car tax bill! I'm paying £150 a year for a car this small! seems crazy!

What are you likely to buy next?

Depends when and if my situation remains the same! I have only just bought this one!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

September 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

I thought I had an excellent deal but since I have realised it wasn't quite as good as I thought! Reason for this was this is an early model with higher CO2 emmissions than the later ones hence higher tax than I thought!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap to run etc!

What was the dealer like?

He seemed extremely keen to sell. Willing to drop the price drastically

What's it like to drive?

nice little car to drive. Nothing special really though. Have yet to take on motorways etc but got it up to 60 on single track A road - was fine! quiet engine while in traffic queues! It's not quite as nippy as some have made out - don't try to pull out unless you've got plenty of time.

What's it like to park?

Doddle! One of the main reasons i bought it!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only just got it!

What's most practical about your car?

It's very small in length width etc yet roomy compared to expectations

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I have the SE+ model so its the air con for me - never had this on a car before!
