Daewoo Matiz SE 5-door

I recently passed my driving test and up until now have been as most new drivers do trying to decide on what car to buy. Many people always recommend a Vauxhall Corsa, Fiat Punto or Volkswagen Polo for a first car so I looked up these. I was not really sure what to get so I scanned the autotrader to see if there were any good deals coming up and I noticed the car the Daewoo Matiz. I had never in my life heard of it so I came onto DooYoo and Ciao looking at reviews and noticed the positive feedback. It seemed to do well and I asked my friend a the garage and some other car experts an all said it was a good first car even second or third time car. I found a ...  Read the complete review

OOOH lucky ol' me. I got a brand spanking new Daewoo Matiz for my 21st birthday. Grand. Ah, but I see you're eager to know more. Well hold your horses and I'll tell you all about the Matiz. THE MATIZ SE EXTRA: Is wot I've got. The SE is the basic model in the Matiz range, meaning it comes without all the extra bits and bobs like electric windows, central locking, bits of fabric on the doors and so on. The standard Matiz SE costs £6595, the SE+ is priced at £7295 and the SE+ A/C will set you back about £7795. However, I've got an SE Extra, which means those kind people at Daewoo have cut £600 off the price of the Matiz SE and swapped the ...  Read the complete review

When I was learning to drive this time last year, I really needed a small, cheap, first-time buyer type car, something that wasn't going to cost thousands to insure. As I am under 25, insurance is automatically expensive anyway, without having a big expensive car. When I went to a local dealership, accompanied by my Dad and Fiancé, I saw my little Matiz and fell in love with it. Naturally, being your typical girly-girl, this 'love' was largely based on its colour (mine is gorgeous green - see pic below). I took it for a test drive, my Dad drove it, my Fiancé drove it, and then we went back to the garage and bought it. Much of the reason for the purchase was ...  Read the complete review

The good old Daewoo Matiz. My very kind mother and me have the fortune of part owning this magnificent specimen of a car. It truly is the modernised version of the classic mini, economical, compact and not too bad to look at. I have only got a T registered model, so I am not quite up to date. However from my experience this car is as sound as a pound. It comes with a 0.8 litre engine, really tiny, but because of its size and minimal weight it is plenty of power to do the essentials. I have clocked it at 86 m.p.h, (although if you are a police man better make that 70), so it really isn?t all that bad. The Matiz is very much a city car; it is very good at ...  Read the complete review

OK, it was bought for my sister, not me, but I get to go on her insurance. For young people such as myself, getting insurance for any car (let alone a decent one) below £1000 is a nightmare. With the Matiz , however, I have a brand new car for a good price and low premiums. I'm 6ft 2", so when I first saw the car I thought I'd never fit in it without breaking my back and legs in several places. But it's like the Tardis, with plenty of room even for me. I didn't think much of the 0.8 litre engine either, but it sure does go and it gets better and better as the engine is broken in. ---- Specifications ---- The ...  Read the complete review
