2000 Daewoo Matiz SE review from Netherlands
"My next car will be a good old second hand one again!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This Matiz is the first new car I bought and I really had better hopes when I did.
The first problem I had was the LED from the airbag that went on from time to time. My dealer "fixed" it and to be sure I checked : HE JUST REMOVED THE LED!!! Of course it took only one letter to the Daewoo import company to have it fixed decently. However (out of revenge I suppose) it took 3 weeks to fix it by this dealer. Of course I go to another dealer now.
Another problem was the right front tire which already after 6000km became worn out from the outside. This problem is fixed now.
The latest problem was a leak near the waterpump. Also fixed now.
I hope the series of fix and fix and fix has come to an end now since I getting really scared for when the warranty has ended.
General comments?
I wish I had never bought this car. Especially the dealerships are really wacky and I hope Daewoo will do something about it.
