Daewoo Matiz test drive since 2005 hatchback

Controversial nature

The world is full of contradictions. On the one hand, the car gives freedom. On the other hand, traffic jams limit this freedom. But on the third side, no one tapps his legs and does not breathe in the face with fumes and onions. But, if you can at least clamp your nose in the subway, then from a smelly truck that is puffing with something disgustingly black, sometimes you can’t hide. So about Matiz, I endlessly led internal dialogues: but. But. However. However, in general, I am all so sudden, contradictory all.
 
SAVING
Box Automatic is a woman’s path to the male world of motorists. All disgusting insinuations about our leading abilities from the fact that husbands, fathers and just comrades, as the first car, literally impose a domestic unit for the woman. And the sixes and dozens with a machine gun have not yet learned how to release. Only girls with a classic conservative education in the piano class manage to master virtuoso work with a clutch. The rest are convinced of their own mediocrity and failure. And here you are, please, a small city machine with a machine gun for feasible money. Away of complexes, a feeling of awkwardness and helplessness. Give automation of all gearboxes!
Having taken this small step for the automotive industry, but a huge step towards women, Daewoo had to be saved literally on everything so that the car did not rise very much. The radio in Matiz is cassette. It seems that this carrier of information has died along with large such flexible disks. There is no tachometer at all. But maybe he simply did not have enough space.
SPACE
Paradoxically, many things from the inside are greater than outside. So Matiz from the side seems to be a canine jar, akin to the oka. In fact, it turned out that the girl was placed there in standard size, and even the place remains. The main thing is not to get involved in swimming the width of the shoulders in Matiz is not welcome. Just like the length of the lower extremities. Andrian Schlenarikova with her legs (124 cm) should not even be tried to ride in this car. For me just right. I myself am a little higher than these notorious 124. I console myself with the fact that the main proportion. And they did not have enough of them in Matiz. Because neighboring cars were somehow disproportionately close to my shoulder. It scares. I would not want to think about it, and suddenly someone will enter my side? He will drive literally into me. In addition, people rarely look at each other on the road, only at iron. There is some positive in this: you do not need to follow the facial expressions and grace of gestures. You can make faces, scratch the heel and blow bubbles from chewing gum. Some are so accustomed to this detachment that they even pick in the nose! And in Matiz, it is impossible to think about any liberties. Well, you are in the palm of your hand. From a neighboring car, you can consider moles on the neck and determine the degree of painting painting.
REVIEW
The seat in the car is sometimes more important than additional liters and horsepower. Once I even had to urgently call my younger sister so that she came to me and move on the back. So it jammed that I could not breathe. Meanwhile, I am not so much not so much to me to complain about pain in the spine, groan and resolutely move to sleep on the hard floor. It seems that the mistress of Matiza will be unknown. At least, all the days that I drove in this car were no discomfort. In addition, the moment when I tuned the seat for myself. I pulled the lever and ... Babatz, my back shied up on my shoulder blades. I did not expect such retreat from her and later I pulled the levers with great caution. Having received the result I need and a couple of tears, I found that I was sitting high, I look far away. In general, despite ours with Matiz is small in stature, I can very well look into the eyes of all kinds of boors there or, on the contrary, men of a pleasant appearance. Well, ears. Mirrors, that is. Despite all the frivolity and fun of their species, they are sewn where necessary.
Gust
Acceleration was given to us through force. I even began to eat less so that Mother was easier to drag me. On it, as on a bicycle, first you have to actively pedal to find your rhythm at certain speeds. And here the drive begins, movements become more smooth, they no longer in hilly. Although this smoothness is quite arbitrary. In the turns of the steering wheel, and in movements on the road, and even in small details and buttons there is not enough degree and restraint. Well, just like a very young girl: there is already a figure, but how to keep herself with her is not yet clear. So she twitches, tugs her legs in heels and pulls the skirt all the time.
TRICK
Upon receipt of the car, they intelligibly explained to me: if you stay in an inconspicuous car for 3040 seconds, then something is automatically triggered there and you can’t just get Matiz. You need to press the button on the immobilizer. After that, they told me a lot of something else and showed. It is no wonder that in my head the information was distributed so that the immobilizer retreated into the background. In the morning I got into the car, rumbled in the glove compartment in search of charging, checked if I had forgotten the phone and began to start the car. Then there was a panic with me. She did not start. I took out the key, inserted it again. The result is zero. In horror (I'm late again!) She began to reap all the buttons in a row. I was descended to me, and my memory helpfully gave me a folder with the name immobilizer for 30 seconds to press. But the adventures did not end there. It turned out that after the ignition is turned on, the doors are immediately blocked. Which, you see, is not bad. Time today. The reverse side of this wonderful system turned out to be that the passenger can be released only after the engine is drowned out. I see no sense in this. If you know, be sure to write to me.
Doors
If you want to win a girl, and you have no money for expensive gifts, learn to open the doors. To the store, metro and car. It looks especially impressive when a man is running around the car to give a lady a hand. And there is a very important point: if in the vehicle in which you drove the girl or she was driving herself, a narrow door, everything, consider, in vain fled. Because if your companion does not manage to gracefully get out of the car, then the rest of the evening she will engage in self -eating: what a snag. He saw my flattened thigh. With Matiz there is a chance to keep face and evening. Widely opening doors will allow the girl to flutter. The main thing is not to carry a girl in the back seat of Matiz. She is so remembered there that neither the wide doors nor your gallantry will save her.
And of course, you can’t go on Matiz for shopping. Only to the jewelry store. Because the trunk resembles a box for jewelry. Yes, and using it is inconvenient, it slamms only the third time.
THE SIZE
The most contradictory in Matiz is its size. This is a huge advantage and drawback at the same time. I always envied motorcyclists. The traffic jams are unknown to them. Matiz, of course, will not be larger and cannot maneuver between cars, but! There is a right row, always caught parked cars. The machine will not pass the standard size for this row. And I am a colloquial at a time. Not to mention the fact that even in Moscow the task is feasible into any gap will squeeze him even in Moscow. But the problem is that Matiz occupies only half of the row. What do others think? Oh, a half-empty row, let me get here! There is no way to deal with this fatal rudeness. Unless go in pairs with two mates by a side.
APPEARANCE
An amazing thing, the appearance of Matiz more touched my friends than friends. Friends unnoticed in sentimentality saw in it Cheburashka, Pokemon, Beijes, and a touching animal. It is understandable. A man needs to be strong, which means there must be someone who needs protection and guardianship. But if you continue in the same spirit, it turns out, and a woman needs something larger and more impressive, a strong shoulder. Although many of us love cats and dogs the size of a guinea pig. So, Matiz will have to go to the court.
It turns out that I never allowed my internal contradictions. Maybe just not my size? I will wait for the editors to entrust me with a jeep. Big, big. Then I will decide.
