pandamonium Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I've been offered a 2005 Matiz so naturally in spite of having 2 cars already, I said yes. It's going to need a few bits done for the MOT, so it's a bit of a gamble. Wish me luck!Pics later the judge, RayMK, Marm Toastsmith and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernMonkey Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 This has got to be the Autoshite equivalent of self-flagellation. Seriously, why are you doing this to yourself, man?

spartacus Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I feel like I'm 'coming out' here, but I've never even been in one of these, let alone driven one, just how bad are they.

bramz7 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 No experience of the Daewoo ones but my exs mum had a Chevrolet Matiz as a first car and it's the only car I've ever been in where the headrest supports have been going rusty.
