Daewoo Matiz became my first own car. I chose 40-60 thousand in the budget for city driving (mainly for work). Before Matiz I drove a GAZ-24, Golf 4, VAZ-2104, VAZ-2112, so there was something to compare with. The driving experience was very pleasant, compared to... full review →

I always dreamed about personal car. And now my dream came true a year ago. There was not much money, about 180 thousand. We chose between Lanos, Matiz, Witz, March and the like. We saw a lot of cars. It took a long time to choose. We settled on Matiz. I’ll say this is a car for a beginner... full review →

I have had a Daewoo Matiz for a year and a half. I took a new one from the salon. It was the right price and size - just right for you and your child. Ran 30,000 km. In all this time it failed me once, I had to change it diode bridge, but this is under warranty, so there was no investment. THAT... full review →

So, back in 2006, at that time I was moving on the Oka River, then I got a job, where the salary began to allow me to buy a new car, or rather pay off a loan, and I got myself a Matiz on credit for 255 thousand. A month later I realized that I had gone crazy with the price; in Chelyabinsk it was possible... full review →

Over the course of several years I have already changed several cars, it started with a penny in ’73, then a nine, then a Niva, Focus, Scenic2, Vectra b, big-eyed 210, Vectra a and finally Matiz.

Good day to all! This review is probably not about the car itself, so don’t judge too harshly. I am over 50 years old, driving since 1981, owned a ZAZ 968, Moskvich 412, VAZ 21051, currently it is a “miracle”. I took a three-year-old Matiz with a mileage of 24,700 km for reasons that... full review →

I bought myself a car in February 2013; there were 2 other owners before me. This is my first car, so I bought it to learn, but I didn’t think there would be so many problems with it. Of course, this may not be a problem for someone, but as a girl, it’s a little hard for me with her. The deode bridge flew twice, then... full review →

In three years I drove a Matizka 70,000 km, and on rutted roads, at 40 thousand the right front shock absorber leaked, I installed new "Boge" (it was my own fault that I flew into the right wheel with the right wheel) high speed into a large hole). Matiz is constantly at work, 50-60 km to the neighboring town... full review →

Hi all. It was a free evening and I decided to talk a little about my car. In principle, it’s been two years since I’ve been driving, and it seems quite possible to draw any conclusions. At one time I took it purely as a means of commuting to work and back, hence the choice. The car... full review →

I spent almost a year driving a Matiz, I bought it last October, and then I stopped by to read what people were writing and decided to let me know what it was all about. True, I don’t really have anything to complain about. I have Best, maximum equipment, with air conditioning. It was Matiz that I chose not to... full review →

Not long ago I took a Matiz Best. True, for myself - it’s quite a relative concept; for the most part, my wife drives it, I have work machine my own, and on weekends I drive only when necessary, giving myself a rest. But to do maintenance and tinker... full review →

Hi all. I bought the Matiz for my wife, but after I got my own car up and running, I also get behind the wheel from time to time. We bought it last June, the mileage is just over 30 thousand. The equipment is almost maximum, they just didn’t install air conditioning, the engine is liter.... full review →

At one time, when I was choosing a Matiz, I scoured the Internet in order to find a more or less adequate review, but there were very few of them. So now I’ll try to write a balanced, objective assessment this car in order to help potential buyers in their... full review →

It was Matiz who chose for himself for several reasons. Firstly, in my opinion, it is practically perfect car for the city - the consumption is low, the dimensions allow you not to worry about parking, because a place can be found anywhere, and the small power is compensated for... full review →

We bought Matiz in August 2011. The car was produced in 2004 with a mileage of 63,000 km. Before reaching home, it stalled on the move; no immediate attention was given to it. And so on the way I stalled five times. But it started right away without any problems. And then everything fell apart: they replaced the muffler, the rear... full review →

Yeah. I read the reviews here and was horrified. The average person will respect this and refuse to buy a good car. I have a 2007 Matiz, mileage 85,000 km, standard equipment with air conditioning. During this time, not a single breakdown, only consumables. Disadvantages... full review →

Hi all. I thought about it and decided to write a little about my Matiz, to add it to the general pot, so to speak. Before Daewoo, I drove mainly used Japanese cars. Special problems There were no problems with the cars, just right-hand drive and age-related breakdowns. When it appeared... full review →

I purchased it new in the fall of 2011. I took one of the basic configurations, without frills in the form of electrical accessories, power steering and air conditioning, a clock and a rear parcel shelf - I purchased it on credit. I left an ashtray with a cigarette lighter, a radio with two speakers, a brush and heating rear window,... full review →

I read reviews about Matize just like this good car, it feels like dealers are writing. I bought it two years ago, a week after the showroom the car began to shake, the second week the windshield washer fluid started leaking in the cabin, I took it to a service center and had it adjusted. A week later there is water in the cabin again,... full review →

This is my second Motya. I bought the first one in 2005 and I have something to compare it with. Unfortunately, the comparison is not in the direction of improving quality! The current Motya began to remind me of Oka (if not completely and completely, then in first impressions - definitely). So let's start with... full review →

My wife and I bought a Matiz for daily walks from home to work along the route Dzerzhinsk - Nizhny Novgorod, exactly 120 km every day. Before that, we rode electric trains, with all the consequences - cold in winter, hot in summer, public transport during rush hour in Nizhny... full review →

I bought Matiz very cheaply and by chance, passing by. I don’t even know why, only after looking at the Vectra B with the dead engine, I saw this orange miracle and took it. We've been friends for a month and a half now. Tomorrow there will be a technical inspection, I hope it will be good. The first impression was strange:... full review →

Matiz bought a three-year-old Kalina instead. The impressions from the VAZ were pleasant, but just so as not to spoil them, I decided to change the car. I decided that the Matiz would be just right for me both in price and in quality, fortunately there are now enough reviews about it, I could get an idea.... full review →

Hi all. It’s my first car, Matiz, I bought it immediately after I got my license, partly with my own money, partly with help from my parents. The amount was small, so there was not much to choose from, I didn’t want a used car, I didn’t want something big either.... full review →

I will share my experience of communicating with Daewoo Matiz. I’ve had almost a year of experience, and I already have something to share, in my opinion. The car is at maximum speed, with all the amenities it had, and at its price you can’t deny yourself pleasure. My Matiz has almost 15 thousand miles, I drive it every day... full review →

Good afternoon A month ago I took a Daewoo Matiz to basic configuration for 224,000 rubles. That's not a lot of money for a car of this class. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the Matiz: - improve the composition rims(too soft and on any bumps or holes...

A little history

Initially, the concept called Luciolla, created by the Italdizain studio, was intended for Fiat. But they didn't think it was handsome enough to bear the name of an Italian car.

The Italians made the Fiat Seicento for themselves, and the Matiz eventually went to the Korean company Daewoo, which, starting in 1997, assembled it and sent it to the Old World. There, the model immediately became a bestseller in its class. When five years later, in 2002, the baby was assembled in Uzbekistan, it broke through to our market.

The car was also assembled in India and Romania. In addition, Matiz with the same name was sold under the Chevrolet emblem and under a dozen other names of six different brands. The Matiz's options included such benefits as AvtoVAZ, which were unavailable at that time, such as air conditioning, CD radio and power steering.

When purchasing, the consumer had to choose only options and body color. Power unit initially there was only one - a 0.8-liter three-cylinder engine with 52 horsepower plus a 4-speed manual transmission. Such a tandem accelerated the car to “hundreds” in 17 seconds. Later, a Jatco 4-speed automatic was supplied for this engine. They stopped installing it in 2009 due to inconsistency with what came into force environmental standard"Euro-4".

In 2003, a liter engine with a capacity of 64 hp began to be installed on Matiz.

In addition to the gain in acceleration to “hundreds” (about 4 seconds), this engine worked much quieter and smoother than its “ younger brother", especially on idle speed, but automatic transmission was not available to him.

Offers on the market

The car cost in 2002 was from 5,500 to 7,100 US dollars (then cars were priced in dollars). For this money in those years you could only buy Zhiguli cars designed several decades ago. Today new car costs from 259,000 to 354,000 rubles. Starting prices for a used Matiz start at 50,000 rubles. The majority, almost 80% of the offers on the secondary market, are cars with a 0.8 liter engine and manual transmission. Options 0.8 + automatic transmission and 1.0 + manual transmission are approximately equally divided - 10% each, and such cars cost somewhere from 80,000 to 100,000 rubles.

Typical breakdowns and operational problems

Engine

The younger 3-cylinder engine with a volume of 0.8 liters is the fruit of joint efforts between Daewoo and Suzuki. Before overhaul, it can withstand an average of 150,000 km. A four-cylinder engine with the volume of a milk carton will last an average of 50,000 km more. In both engines approximately every 30,000 - 50,000 km, you need to adjust thermal clearances in the valve drive mechanism.

The timing belt must be changed every 40,000 km, and water pump- twice as often. A muffler rarely lasts more than 80 thousand, and this despite the fact that the car was once “tailored” to Euro-2 standards and can easily “digest” gasoline that is not of the best quality.

Until 2008, 0.8 liter engines were equipped with an ignition distributor with an electromagnetic sensor, which often failed after washing the engine. After the transition to Euro-3, Daewoo installed electronic ignition modules, which were successfully used on the older engine.

Matiz was still the one who started it! One has only to get used to the clutch (it’s strange here: the “long” pedal has literally a centimeter of travel, and the rest is free travel), and the car begins to “burn”: the Daewoo jumps off like a grasshopper and quickly picks up speed. “Liter” pulls great from below, kicking the car forward from the lowest revs.

Kolesa.ru, 2005

Transmission

Offers on the market with automatic transmissions not much, but finding a car is quite possible. The Jatco 4-speed automatic is as ancient as it is reliable. By and large, manual transmission modifications do not cause much trouble. The average clutch life is 70,000 – 80,000 km. But the gear shift cable can fray already by 40,000 km. You will have to change the oil on a “hand-to-hand” transmission for the first time at 20,000 km, and then you need to do it once every 40,000 km. Changing the oil in the automatic transmission is not regulated.

Suspension

The suspension of the car is simple: in front the Matiz swings on a McPherson, in the rear - on a beam with trailing arms. Although the car weighs a little, the front ball joints can withstand only 50,000 km. The problem is that they are made together with the front control arms. If the car alloy wheels, That wheel bearings can withstand only 40,000 km. In stamped specimens they live on average twice as long.

Body

In conditions of winter control of reagents in large cities, cars usually begin to rust after 3-4 years. In those populated areas, where public utilities do without harsh chemicals, this period is extended for another 3-4 years. Openings are the first to give way under the pressure of corrosion. rear doors. But body parts They are relatively cheap, and at disassembly sites they can be found for pennies. The main thing is not to run into a copy with “rotten” power elements body

Matiz is good-looking: it still has room to grow old, unlike its compatriot Aunt Nexia. The appearance of "Matizik" is rather laconic than simple. Svoyskaya.

Kolesa.ru, 2005

Salon

The fabric and plastic in Matiz are of very rough quality, but thanks to this they are highly durable. The salon looks quite presentable even after 10 years. In cars equipped with air conditioning, it was very easy to tear out the drain pipe, which is located under the passenger seat, from its fastenings. If you don’t notice this, a large puddle will quickly form on the floor. It is very easy to correct the situation - just insert the tube into place.

And the materials in the "Uzbek" are not foreign-made - Soviet. Not much better than on the VAZ 10. Only everything is put together more delicately. But here, too, the assembly flaws are visible: the seals bulge unhappily, and on especially “plastic” parts, burrs appear in “sores” here and there.

Kolesa.ru, 2005

Electrical equipment

On cars of the first years, rear window heating was installed without automatic shutdown, and if forgetful drivers did not turn off the heating manually, the contact wires burned out.

Standard generators from Delphi or Mando begin to perform their functions poorly by 20,000 km due to simple weakness. But they die completely on average by 40,000 - 50,000 km. Although the generator can not be completely changed, but simply repaired for a couple of thousand rubles in almost any service center with a competent electrician.
