2000 Daewoo Matiz SE + review from UK and Ireland
"Nippy, but unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
To start with I have had 3 valves replaced to find out that it was not that they should have replaced, but a wire connecting the valve to the engine management computer under warranty.
Then I have had to have a full new gear box due to it not working right from when I bought it also done under warranty.
My temp gage on the dashboard ceased to work so I had to have another one fitted.
My back box on the exhaust had to be replaced also.
Recently though I have come out of warranty by one month, and so far I have had a new clutch and it is going back in for some more work due to lack of power through my recently replaced plugs.
General comments?
If the car had been more reliable and not in the garage as much, I would have thought more about getting a newer version possibly or another deawoo model.
