If one wishes to have a car that suits his pockets and at the same time also wants the luxuries of a big car then I think this is one of the best choices in India.
By Economy I mean, Low Fuel Consumption & by Luxuries of a big car I mean, Spacious, comfortable & interiors.
Well the car has got good leg space and a the best part is for the front two seats, the person feels that as if he is sitting in a big car. The dashboard is very stylish with its own elegance as it has very sleek curves and the color is also a bit different from the normal gray color.
The car is has got an aerodynamic shape from the front and it is so smooth to drive in highways, I have personally driven this car at a speed of 155 Kmph with a good control in hand.
Good Points :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)Good Control even in High Speed
2)very Fuel efficient
3)Spacious
4)Stylish Looks
5)Suspenson is also good
6)the pickup is superb
7)front two seats very comfortable
8)great value for money
9)have even driven in bad roads, steep roads, hilly areas and the grip is perfect on any type of surface.
10)Manitanence is vary low if kept properly.
11)My family also experienced an accident in which case the car fell 8 feet down from the road but the body didnt had a major damage.
Bad Points :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)the original distributor that comes with the car is a bit faulty and by the time it always goes wrong and while car is on the AC it starts missing after 6-8 years of use. Need to change it with the new distributor manufactured by DAE company.
2)the front windscreen also cracks if the car is driven on bad, bumpy roads every day. I have been driving this car from last 5 6 years and the wind screen has cracked twice. I have also seen this problems with almost 30-40% of matiz I have ever seen. Engineers say that it happens if the car absorbs a hard blow on the front panel which hold the windscreen.
3)from last two years I didnt took its care like no proper service, so have to pay an extra price of that and today I need to overhaul its engine after doing 834500 Kms. In this case it needs a lot of maintenance.
The day matiz is again launched in India, I will be definitely among first persons to buy a new this car again.
Overall a great car to have and a great asset to own.
