"A little car that gives big rewards financially"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing, apart from the Daewoo supplied locking wheel nuts rounded off when i tried to take the front wheel off, the nut removal tool supplied in the tool kit is not at 90 degrees to the car when you apply force - watch out! It cost me £200 to sort it because the wheel concerned had to be hacked off, with an angle grinder!!

General comments?

Apart from my cock-up with the wheel, it's an ace little car. Had a Puma before so the performance is pathetic against that but it excels at so much that I don't really care.

Comfort good, equipment excellent and I paid £5,500 for one with 1400 miles on the clock, a bargain.

Had a Sony stereo fitted with an amp and sub, makes a huge difference and helps on longer motorway runs cause the engine gets a bit noisey.

Even I had a similar problem with the wheel nut removal tool. It gave way the moment I tried to open the nut after a puncture. Got that replaced though.

Have just bought a SE+ Matiz and had a flat back tyre lucky I was near home as back wheels have locking wheel nuts and no adapter. The front tyres had obviously been changed as locking nuts were replaced by ordinary ones no one ever seems to have looked at the rear brakes in "servicing" if they could not remove the wheels???
