2000 Daewoo Matiz SE review from UK and Ireland
"Fun, cheap, fresh and modern"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear seat retainer catch has broken.
Seats have not worn very well.
General comments?
It handles quite well and is surprisingly nippy.
Its good to drive in town with its very small turning circle and diminutive size.
Very economical except when pushed very hard.
Will happily cruise on the motorway and feels safe enough even at 90mph!
Body panels are very thin and slightly tinny, but the paintwork is excellent (Poly Silver).
Gets strange looks from some people, but most people warm to it when they see how well it drives.
I love my little car, she's a beauty.
