"Fun, cheap, fresh and modern"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear seat retainer catch has broken.

Seats have not worn very well.

General comments?

It handles quite well and is surprisingly nippy.

Its good to drive in town with its very small turning circle and diminutive size.

Very economical except when pushed very hard.

Will happily cruise on the motorway and feels safe enough even at 90mph!

Body panels are very thin and slightly tinny, but the paintwork is excellent (Poly Silver).

Gets strange looks from some people, but most people warm to it when they see how well it drives.

I love my little car, she's a beauty.

90 mph? I take it you haven't looked at the Euro NCAP test results for the Daewoo Matiz at just 40 mph then!

Nice nippy little car, but above 65 mph and it begins to feel very unstable!

Great fuel economy, especially at around 60 mph.

Gear box is far from great, but have seen worse on an earlier year 2000 SE+ (mine's an EZ+ 02 reg).

Air conditioning brilliant, and doesn't seem to affect fuel economy too badly.

Overall I'm very pleased with my car, perfect for parking and maneouvring.
