1999 Daewoo Matiz SE review from UK and Ireland
"Stay clear of Daewoo as a whole"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very uncomfortable ride, suspension is too stiff so you tend to feel every bump in the road.
In the first 8 months the car went back each month for faults, the last 6 for the same fault which they could not fix and then finally tracked it down to the immobiliser, as the engine kept on cutting out when the car comes to a stop.
Interior lights and license plate lights faulty on delivery.
Dealer service is absolutely poor compared to my previous experience with dealers.
Takes too long to book the car in for a service. Typically takes 2 weeks to book the car in and get a courtesy car.
Don't expect reminders of upcoming service's on the vehicle.
Recently the horn has stopped working and one of the doors has had its locks come loose.
General comments?
I find it very hard to recommend Daewoo as a whole, from poor dealer service, to getting a car which has been a lemon from the start. Thankfully the car is running well, touch wood!!
