Chevrolet Matiz 1.0

...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, ...
...I decided on a newer Chevrolet model as I had come into a bit of money before the crash and as they offered a very good deal with money off servicing etc. plus it had the spec. I'd told myself I wanted my next car to have, which is basically electric front windows (no more straining my elbow to open the drivers side window!) and central locking - no, even better than that, REMOTE central locking! Okay so your probably thinking that these are hardly ...

Review of Chevrolet Matiz 1.0

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 ...
...wind wobbles. Inside it is quite a different story, anyone who has stepped into a matiz of any description will tell you it is the biggest small car in the world! The new chevvy has the same roomyness but feels like you've walked into a sleek and sophisticated office surrounded by metal accents, with the new lighter interior it does make it appear even bigger! And the most important factor is that chevvy have kept the incredibly comfortable seat ...

Review of Chevrolet Matiz 1.0

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 ...
...engine at that. although the car is quite nippy it seems to lack the power of the old 800cc model.It is fitted with a Blaupunkt cd player/radio,but the radio is useless,very distorted,the dealer changed this,but the replacement is the same,so the radio is to all intents ,non existant. The good points,it is quite roomy,lots of storage space,insurance is cheap (ish) and tax is low,so cheap to run. However the driving position is poor and I would ...

Review of Chevrolet Matiz 1.0

I am a BIG chap, and the best thing about the Matiz is the look on peoples faces when this tiny car arrives and an obese bearded golfer emerges. You would expect me to be uncomfy in this car - but no, it is great. The entire product is good, it has isofix in the rear seats for the Grandchildren, and ABS and airbags as you would expect. I cant fault the vehicle - but if pushed I suppose the boot could be bigger - but most of the time it is OK - ...
...down the back seats to provide a good luggage space, or one seat for the golf clubs and trolley! It is mush nippier than you would think, has a tiny tirning circle, is so easy to park, and is cheap to run - well under 10p per mile for fuel. ...
