"A real bargain car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

None.

General comments?

During the UK petrol dispute, I never needed to fill up, I saw loads of Matiz's driving but none queuing for petrol.

A great little bargain car, and despite what many articles say, a great motorway car too.

A nice nippy car, town or motorway.

But very poor after sales sevice, poor parts, poor warranty.

Reliability, not good either.

Would certainly not buy Daewoo again.

I have had my Matiz for about 2 years. I only have two complaints, 1, the gear box really isn't that great, it does get pretty challenging to change gears, and 2, a little more power would be great. It is otherwise great on petrol and nifty.

I hope somebody still reads this blog...

I live in Namibia and I've been driving my 2000 model Daewoo Matiz SE for 5 years now. Apart from services and one set of new tyres, I've had no problems with her. (Touch wood)

The thing with the gears: the engine is the same size as your child's motorbike, would you change a motorbike's gears to second while driving 40km/h? Didn't think so...

If you want more power, buy a car with a bigger engine... I drive on the beach and lower dunes with my Matiz, and because she's so light she doesn't get stuck in the loose sand. (I did however get stuck once... the underbody hung on a heap of sand... haha!!! We just got out and lifter her a bit to the right of the heap, and drove on.)
