1999 Daewoo Matiz SE review from Estonia
"A small big car for small money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The central locking system suddenly "disappeared" at 30 000 km.
The 3rd gear sometimes makes a violent noise when switching.
General comments?
A nice, funny and friendly-looking small car. Very useful in the city, especially when looking for a parking spot.
Fuel consumption is very low - I have managed with 5-6 litres per 100 km.
On the highway it's noisy inside, so the radio volume has to be turned quite high.
Transporting larger objects is pretty complicated, for example already a kids bicycle created some problems because it tended to scratch my back.
