1999 Daewoo Matiz SE + review from UK and Ireland
"Capable, nimble, reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really major has gone wrong with the car. A new battery was fitted after 2 years, and the HT leads needed changing after the car refused to start one morning (thank god for the AA).
All 4 alloy wheels needed replacing after 1 year, as the old ones had started corroding. They were replaced under warranty with no fuss from the dealer!
The interior is nicely put together, but we have noticed some rattles and squeaks.
General comments?
The car is extremely capable around town, keeping up happily with other traffic. We have taken the car on numerous motorway trips, and it will comfortably sit at 75-80mph all day, with the little motor buzzing away quite contently. Not quite a pocket rocket, but nevertheless, a nippy and nimble little runner.
If you are looking for a cheap little 2nd car, then the Matiz is for you!
