1999 Daewoo Matiz SE+ AC review from UK and Ireland
"If you want to beat boy-racers off the line then buy one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well...... firstly I have had to have a leak in my boot fixed.
My side repeaters were replaced due to them being full of condensation.
My front suspension dampers were replaced as they decided it would be a good idea to leak all over the place!
One of the lights on my dashboard display needed to be replaced, and both me and my brother (we both own Matiz's) have had Daewoo replace our alloy wheels as they started to flake, bubble and discolour!
...But apart from that we absolutely love our nippy little cars!
General comments?
Although I have had several problems with my car it does not bother me in the slightest due to the fact that it was such good value for money.
The insurance for me (20 years old when I bought it!) was very good due to the size of the engine and the decent alarm system that Daewoo fitted for me.
The problems were cleared up in no time at all and the 3 years parts and labour deal meant that I didn't have to pay a penny for any of the problems I encountered!
