All Daewoo Matiz reviews

The Daewoo Matiz changed many people's perceptions of the Korean car giant. Rather than a company that produced re-heated versions of other's cast offs, it became a manufacturer that produced smarter cars when it undertook the job itself. The Matiz was the first Daewoo that large numbers of the general public would actually countenance purchasing for any reason other than cost of ownership; strangely ironic given that it was Britain's cheapest car to run. As a used buy it's possible to drive ...
