Daewoo Matiz SE 5d (98) (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Difficult to get as good a car with four seats for the money. And then there's the Daewoo package!
Costs
You put fuel in and that's about it! I even got a year's free insurance.

On the road
Driving
Lively handler but understeers when pushed in the wet. Firm suspension no good for speed humps but great for the open road - supsrisingly. Hurts if you drive over 400 miles in a day!
Performance
Admirable for engine size. Feels a lot quicker than paper suggests. I loved the buzzy engine!

Living with it
Reliability
In two years, an interior bulb went and was replaced by Daewoo.
Image
Never gonna impress the fellas, but girls find them cute.
Comfort
At 5 foot 9 inches, I could have done with just a touch more legroom. Seats a bit narrow for the larger person. I'm skinny, so ok!

Security and Service
Security
Not exactly the most desirable - no good for ram raiding!
Service
Package is excellent. Shame they rely on Halfords!
