2000 Daewoo Matiz SE review from UK and Ireland
"A good buy, but serious concerns on the build quality remain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radio/Tape deck (Phillips) malfunctioned (replaced).
Dash lights not working (replaced).
Front windscreen cracked in lower RH corner (replaced).
This last one is what concerns me... I have since seen two other Matizs with cracks to the bottom corners of the windscreen - does it indicate poor build or suspension/shock absorption problems over the front wheels? Are there any other reports of this problem and is there likely to be a recall if the problem is aired publicly?
General comments?
Good car for what you pay for it - the spec is high and while you might want more storage or power you should not really expect it for the price.
