    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Responsive, roomy, lots of storage places etc etc!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The boot isnt large, if alot travelling then engine may struggle, steams up easily

    In this review I will explain what I do and don't like about the Chevrolet Matiz 1.0 SE, as a newly qualified driver (I passed the practical driving test in October 2006) and will put in as much detail as I can. Now to start with, it was under sad circumstances that I got this car, for my first car which I got second hand last November (2006) was the original Matiz, the Daewoo model. However, back in March I unfortunately had an accident driving home from work along a narrow country road, it was pretty scary but I walked away from it fine at least, its a shame I couldn't say the same for the ... more

    5 Stars biggest small car in the world! 14/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages nippy little runaround, cheap, cute

    Disadvantages Disadvantages size can be problem for some, 1.0 litre engine can make hills exciting!!

    I took ownership of my chevvy matiz after my daewoo matiz was passed to my eldest daughter, and i have to say i was most impressed with the new version of 'betsy' the matiz! The old model had a chunky but comfortable feel, the new chevvy is sleek and quite beautiful! Driving the chevvy is very much the same as the old model but does seem that little bit more resposive, gearbox easy and smooth, steers well and still feels secure, the profile on the chevvy does make it a little less prone to high wind wobbles. Inside it is quite a different story, anyone who has stepped into a matiz of any ... more

    2 Stars Buy at you're peril 14/11/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good kit, acceptable town driving, low down throttle response

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Harsh ride, horrible motorway experience, appalling running costs, Ford Ka more appealing

    We purchased a second hand Chevrolet Matiz, an 06 plate, locally as a second car in the family. We had never owned small cars. The Focus was the smallest we have ever had in our household, where we mostly had large estates or saloons like the Ford Sierra. This was an entirely new experience, and we had great hopes. First of all, this car is like a tardis. While it may look positively tiny, you can fit four in with little trouble, and there is even a fair degree of luggage space as well. The little 1.0L straight 4 producing 66bhp is perfectly adequate to power such a diminutive little 800kg car ... more

    2 Stars not a good buy 09/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages small size low tax and insurance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages engine rough and thirsty,gearbox whine

    The chevrolet matiz was my replacement to my Daewo matiz se .8 litre.I was very dissapointed after a few weeks the engine became noisy,and gearbox whine was noticable in 5th gear ratio.The dealer who supplied this confirmed that there was nothing they could do since this was a design fault. It has now done over 1000 miles so it is now "run in",I have got used to the rumble and whine.Fuel consumption is a lot more than my previous model,It uses around 20% more fuel than the 800cc model,and a very rough engine at that. although the car is quite nippy it seems to lack the power of the old 800cc ... more

    4 Stars Lovely little car but basic. 28/11/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable and lovely little car

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite basic inside and not very good for going fast.

    I bought my little Chevrolet Matiz (Toby) this year after my old car started making some not so great sounds. Previously I had got a top of the range Ford Ka which was the limited edition millenium model but it was time for a change. I looked at a lot of small cars to find the one that was best for me and my budget. I chose the chevrolet matiz for a number of reasons. My friend had had on old one and she said hers was great and that it had never broken down or had any problems. You also get a lot for your money with these cars however the inside does look basic. Inside it has everything in ... more
