1999 Daewoo Matiz S review from Romania
"You get what you payed for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has a not very efficient brake system.
Also she has weak frontal resistance: I hit a rabbit (poor thing!), which broke the water radiator when normally the spoiler should protect any essential part in the front of the engine.
When strong rain falls, water pours inside the night luminator into the car (the luminator is just under the radio antenna).
General comments?
People say it is a good car, but I never had enough time to become fully convinced. It's cheap, for sure.
High speed is never recommended with her.
Nice looking, surprisingly space inside, but still a little bit short for long legged drivers.
Very easy to drive, but visibility is affected during left turns, due to the left support bar of the front window.
