Chevrolet Matiz

0.8 S - The Chevrolet Matiz is looking to compete against other “budget” cars such as the Kia Picanto and Fiat Panda. In some aspects it leads its rivals but falls short in too many areas.... read more

Chevrolet Matiz 2006

3 star review

Not a bad City Hopper. Ideal for driving around in the city or town to get your shopping in. Its roomy inside and four adults can easily and comfortable sit and have even leg room, however the roof height should be a bit higher due to if one is on the tall side has to bend their neck slightly. This car is good value for money in regards to mileage coverage and parts. Would be also suitable for a first time driver due to low insurance class. All in all a nice nippy car to own.

Chevrolet Matiz 1.0 SE 2006

3 star review

This was my first car and I have found it to be highly suitable; reasonable manoeuvrability coupled with good fuel economy made this car ideal for my predominantly around town trips. The main problem with this car is that you cannot fit in the back unless you disassemble your lower body first.

Chevrolet Matiz 2008

1 star review

Had this car on lease - never again. Felt very small and unstable. Parking was easy, about the only positive thing. Terrifying to drive on busy roads, not enough oumff to get anywhere fast, possibly the worst car I have ever driven really glad to hand it back.

Chevrolet Matiz 0.8 S 2007

3 star review

Well it seems it’s been said before but this car is a good run around, however, get it on the motorway above 60 mph and it gets a little hairy. Brilliant for about town and great on the old purse to run but not something I’d buy if I did a lot of long distance journeys. I don’t so it suits my needs well.

Chevrolet Matiz 1.0 S

3 star review

Amanda’s review is short and sweet and is spot on. This is a very economical run around that is dependable if unexciting. One of the major minus points was the cornering and I never felt as safe as I would have liked when driving, especially jerky around roundabouts. Still, the low CO2 emissions certainly gave me a sense of well-being and as I’ve already said, the running costs were excellent. It is a good run around, that simple really.
