My father bought a Matiz SD in 26 apr 1998. It was a new car in the indian market and was making waves with its style and comfort I am a big indian cricket supporter so I told my father to buy it in light blue color and so he did it was looking great, and further more when I took a ride in it, it was heaven its so quiet and comfortable at the beggining it was giving milage in 16 kmpl to 18 kmpl which was really great and it also had a stereo in it which was great(this was the only car in its segment that was offering it).
Now after five years with this car I still dont have any regrets it is stil smooth and riding in it is a joy though the Daewoo Motors are nowhere to find (Compony Closed) But the general Motors will do well for this car.
There are some problems with this car though it have an excellent interior the body is too weak i.e it is very pron to dents and bumps.
But apart from that I am finding this car to be the best car in this segment whats not to like in the car it is extreamly comfortable, Still gives milage upto 13kmpl to 14kmpl(after 5 years), is very good looking and to top it all up its very safe cause belive me I saw a Matiz crash into a stand still truck at 60 km/h and the passenger survived with only minor bruses.
I would again like to mention bout its interior which is gorgeous, it has a superb quality stereo, and has a AC which can cool the whole car in couple of minutes.
This car was a great deal in its segment it was very cheap costng only RS.3, 26, 000/-(1998).
