"Daewoo Matiz" - reviews of the owners. Weaknesses and strengths of the car

At the moment, Korean "Daewoo Matiz" is one of the most affordable foreign cars in its class. However, due to the small size, many motorists do not consider it a full-fledged car. But in any case, it is impossible to refute the fact that the car "Daewoo Matiz" (the owners' reviews confirm this) is the most popular hatchback in Russia. What does he owe to such popularity and is it worth buying this car?

"Daewoo Matiz" - feedback from owners about the design

Yes, the exterior of the hatchback turned out really successful. And "Matiz" for all its considerable period of existence has not yet been updated. The only changes for more than 10 years of production have touched the technical part. But we'll talk about it a little later, and now let's look at how motorists perceive the appearance of the hatchback Daewoo Matiz. The responses of the owners (and this is mostly a beautiful half of humanity) note the sympathy and attractiveness of this car. It looks pretty funny and does not cause dislike. Against the background of the remaining full-size cars, Daewoo Matiz also does not look like an object for ridicule. And it's not surprising, because his design was developed in one of the world's studios Ital Design. Actually, that's why this subcompact looks so attractive now and does not seem out of date.

Body of Daewoo Matiz

The owners' comments also point out the high resistance of the car to corrosion. If the car did not fall into an accident, its body will not be exposed to any harmful effects for many years. Well, if there was a small accident (for example, the hood or door was damaged), you can always buy a new part for a reasonable price. Perhaps the most expensive part of the body is the hood. It costs about 2,5-3 thousand rubles. In comparison with the cost of cladding parts, for example, "Nissan Mikra" or "Mini Cooper", this is negligible.

«Daewoo Matiz»: engines

Very successful, and a line of engines. Both gasoline units for 3 and 4 cylinders provide the car with good overclocking dynamics. Of course, with traffic lights, it does not move as fast as the Formula-1, but its passport 150 kilometers per hour is gaining quite confident. However, drivers who dispersed "Matiz" to this speed, say that after the "hundred" to go on it is not very comfortable. In the wind, of course, it will not blow away, but still small wheels and compact dimensions give the impression of riding a supermarket cart. Regarding the gearbox ... There are no complaints about the "mechanics" (probably because most take the complete sets with 4 AKPP), but the electronics on the "automatic" sometimes junk.

Conclusion

Despite the fact that this car has several disadvantages, such as a weak battery, a small capacity of the trunk and so on, all these little things can be forgiven, especially if you remember how much "Daewoo Matiz" costs a new one. The price of 200 thousand rubles still makes it the most affordable and popular hatchback on the Russian market, for such a price you are unlikely to find an equally economical, reliable and dynamic small car.
