I own a Cypress Green Daewoo Matiz for last 6 years [rather 7, because we are in 2007 ;) ]. Had bought it from Sharada Motors out here in Pune.
As of today its driven more than 86K on the ODO. It has undergone 2 tyre changes one at 42K and other at 81K. I have upgraded the tyres to Bridgestone Turanza ER60 with Alloy wheels. The ride quality has defintaley improved with better handling and road grip too.
Till date have NOT replaced the original bulbs (not even the smallest one) that the car came with. I beleive this is called as QUALITY. Can any car available in India, in this cadre, come closer to the this Korean engineering? No way.....
The only problem that I face is with the rusting of silencer/muffler assembly. But again this part is/was manufactured locally in India and was not procured from Korea, hence the problem.
For other satisfied Matiz owners, please keep touch base at nimish_g@yahoo.com, so that we can share views, opinions, suggestions, etc.
