At the moment, the Korean "Daewoo Matiz" isone 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?
Yes, the exterior of the hatchback turned out reallysuccessful. 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 rest of the 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 Actually, that's why this subcompact looks so attractive now and does not seem out of date.
The owners' feedback is also highresistance 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.
Very successful, and a line of engines.Both gasoline units for 3 and 4 cylinders provide the car with good overclocking dynamics. Of course, from the traffic light, it does not move as fast as the Formula-1, but gets its passport 150 kilometers per hour quite confidently. However, the drivers who dispersed Matiz to such 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 the 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 assembly with 4 AKPP), but electronics on the "automatic" sometimes junk.
Despite the fact that this car hasa few shortcomings, 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" is new. 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.
