A car much ahead of its times

I purchased new SD model Matiz in December, 2000  which has  crossed 1,06,000 kms till date.I have  driven this car  from Chennai to Cochin and back twice, first in May 2004 and recently  in May 2009 with my family of four adults, each time covering a distance of 1500 kms including ghat sections without a  hitch. Thanks to the good roads, I could constantly touch 120km  without any discomfort. I changed the original set of tyres only after 70000 kms.  I feel  the car is still much better than most new hatch back models in its class available in the market.I am lucky that I have a good  work shop in Chennai which exclusively takes care of all Daewoo models.Availability of spare parts thus far has never been a problem. I am planning to keep this car for at least the next two years and hopefully, it will continue to serve me as it has done all these nine years. 

 

good control, good style and a trust worthy matea slight reduction in power with ACon in city traffic.
