Daewoo Matiz SE+ A/C 5-door

This review is of a Matzi EZ+ a limited edition version of the SE+ BACKGROUND I passed my test last month having learned in a Fiesta. As my husband has a Fiesta I had been using that a bit whilst we looked for a car for me to drive. I liked the idea of a Fiesta and a number of other cars. My shopping list was not a Ka(k), nor a Micra, preferably little and cute and I don't hink I want a red car either. Not helpful really!!! I did some digging on line and in magazines checking out reviews here and on other sites and checking out book values on the Parkers website. I still couldn't decide what to buy - well it is a big decision. I ...  Read the complete review

I was understandably, reticent when buying a Matiz. Everyone is. Those googly eyes and that prim little nose disconcert even the most hardened XR3 fanatic. I am a young driver, male, and therefore am liable to insurance persecution of the highest order. Thankfully Matiz's are group 1, which is great. What they aren't are speedy or attractive, but I will now demonstrate why this doesn't matter. Ignore everyone who says that the Matiz is stylish, and decide for yourself. It may have been styled by the same guy who designed the Mk1 Golf, but apart from it being distinctive, the Matiz is not beautiful in my opinion.But this isn't a priority when ...  Read the complete review

Wanting a small car for my daughter to learn to drive in I traded a larger Daewoo for the Matiz opting for Air-Con as I appreciate it in my other car. Interest free credit was a plus along with the service package and the hassle free purchase. Everything the advert says is true! I am delighted with the car it is lively despite its engine size, not too noisy even on motorways and surprisingly roomy and comfortable. The boot is miniscule so if you have a full complement of passengers don't try to do the supermarket shopping! Two months after purchase it was written off when parked but the impressive thing was that although both front and rear end were ...  Read the complete review

Needed a second car for school/club run around. Searched and searched. Started looking at other smaller cars in our price range. Then saw the Daewoo Matiz and for the same price we would pay for the other bog standard cars we realised we could get a lot more. We went for the Matiz EZ+ which is the same as a SE+ but different name. Bought it second hand from a dealer, 2002 model, we got a car with the following. Power steering, air con flip out cd radio, power front windows, reversing sensor, twin air bags and on top of that a modern looking car instead of some of the box like cars on the road. Although you do get alot of car for your money, you do ...  Read the complete review

With the car now entering its fourth year, I thought it might be useful to outline how this delightful model has performed and servrd the family in the last 50 months. It was purchased prior to the spectacular demise of Daewoo (now reborn as GM Daewoo). The reason for purchasing was simply to have a town runabout that was easy to park, and avoid the wide-boy antics of car salesmanship usually found in the retail chain. (At that time Daewoo's sales team were salaried and did not get commission in forcing you to take models you didn't really want). In the end, we purchased the top of the range Mark 1 version of the Matiz (this has bumper mounted inticators, unlike ...  Read the complete review
