2004 Daewoo Matiz SE +AC review from Sweden
"Reliable, cheap, worth every penny"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have recently had to change the front brake pads since they were beginning to rust.
General comments?
A perfectly reliable car. I travel about 140 km per day and my Matiz has never let me down. Temperatures in Sweden range from +35C to -20C and I have never had any problems starting the car in the mornings.
I fill the gas tank about twice a week and this is highly appreciated when it comes to how economical the car is.
AC unit is very strong, I can never have the temperature at maximum for too long cause it gets too cold/hot. Same with the seat heating mechanism.
On the negative side, the ride is slightly shaky when driving at speeds over 80-90km/h. If it's windy you will feel it in the steering wheel. Some rust problems which can be attributed the road salt used in Sweden.
