Advantages: Gets into the tiny spaces, cheap to run,uptodate looks

Disadvantages: noisey 3 cynlinder engine thats too small,

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 get what you pay for. I refer to my car as a buget car but it does what we want it to and plus you get all the extras. The Car is not very powerful due to the engine size but it gets you from a to b but on a straight it goes fine . The gear stick is abit lose and can be notchey . The security of the car is not that great as you have no alarm. However you do get central locking, locking steering wheel and an imobliser There's not much more I can say in respect to it being a bad car.

On the good side, it still looks good, it still looks like it was designed yesterday. The interior is great with all the controls easy to get to and read. The flip out cd radio which is great also with four speakers. The space in the car is like the tardis from Dr Who. The car is a small car yet you get alot of dash board that makes you believe the car is bigger on in side. Our three kids sit perfectly in the back, all with seat belts. The seats are firm but comforable. The interior also has little holes and spaces to fit sunglasses etc. The air con is one of the best air con systems Ive ever used. The boot space is what you would expect from such a small car but we went food shopping intit without the kids and did just fine.

As yet we have not had any problems and have not had to take it to a garage but I will update as soon anything changes.

To sum up, if you're not bothered about the badge name and the power although they do make a 1000cc, but what all the extras for which you would pay alot more then give a the Matiz a go.

Summary: smart car for a great price
