DAEWOO MATIZ (1998 - 2005)大宇matiz(1998至2005年)
The Daewoo Matiz changed many people?s perceptions of the Korean car giant.大宇matiz改变许多人?韩国汽车巨人的观感. Rather than a company that produced re-heated versions of other?s cast offs, it became a manufacturer that produced smarter cars when it undertook the job itself.而非制作公司重新加热其他版本?收盘投下帐,它成了制造汽车时,生产更聪明答应工作本身. The Matiz was the first Daewoo that large numbers of the general public would actually countenance purchasing for any reason other than cost of ownership; strangely ironic given that it was Britain?s cheapest car to run.大宇matiz是最早的,大批市民竟嘴脸收购以外的其他理由拥有成本;奇怪的是,它给英国讽刺?最便宜的车走. As a used buy it?s possible to drive these costs down still further and still have one of the cheekiest Citycars on the road.作为用来买?收盘仍下跌可能推动这些成本仍有进一步之一的cheekiestcitycars在路上. Groovy or gormless?妙趣或gormless? You decide.你们决定.
HISTORY历史
The Daewoo Matiz was launched in the UK in April 1998, and it was initially sold mainly through a network of Halfords superstores.大宇matiz于英国在1998年4它最初主要是通过销售网络halfords超级. In time, more dedicated Daewoo dealerships sprang up, but the Halfords approach was undoubtedly an unorthodox way to get a big dealer network at negligible cost.在时间、大宇汽车专用兴起但halfords做法无疑是一个非正统的方法取得大经销商网络成本微不足道. Two models were made available, the SE and the SE+, and straight away the Matiz found favour.两款均提供了+硒及硒、直截了当的matiz发现赞成.
In 2000 alone, the Matiz notched up Best Small Car in Auto Express Used Car Awards, Best Value Car in Top Gear Magazine and Best Small Car on BBC2?s Top Gear.仅2000年,缺口达matiz最佳小型车用自动车快奖衡车全速杂志和最佳小型车bbc2?收盘全速. Sales were strong and all appeared rosy in the Matiz garden until a magazine published a report claiming that the Matiz would fall over if big steering input was applied when reversing at speed.销售强劲和花园都显得美丽的matiz直到杂志发表报告称,如果大matiz督导会摔倒在倒车时速度投入应用.
The magazine neglected to mention that the same would happen to almost any tall, high-sided vehicle ?该杂志指出,忽略了几乎同样会发生任何高楼大厦、高片面车? indeed if you examine any Jeep Grand Cherokee you?ll find stability warnings ?事实上,如果你研究任何大切诺基吉普车吗?当地找到稳定的警告? but by and large, the target audience of the Matiz paid little attention to this claim.但总体来说,服务对象的matiz重视这项索赔. Still, should you ever find yourself attempting to achieve exit velocity in reverse in a Matiz, just go easy with that steering wheel.还有,你觉得自己应该试图扭转速度达到了matiz出境、刚去容易与方向盘.
In late 2000, Daewoo made a number of detail changes to the Matiz.2000年底,大宇提出了一些修改的细节matiz. The front headlamps were now recessed into the bonnet line, and the oval theme continued with the addition of dinky ovoid indicators that sat above the bumper, like an appealing kindergarten sun and planet drawing.前大灯现在变成了肚头盖路线椭圆形、主题与持续添加dinky卵圆指标坐碰碰以上,太阳和行星一样有号召力幼儿园绘画. Below the smiley bonnet work lay a quite aggressive under-bumper mesh grille, punctuated at each side by golf ball-sized fog lights.下面的工作奠定了相当活跃smiley头盖下碰碰网花砖,洋溢在各自的高尔夫球球型雾灯. At the flanks, the newer car could be identified by the full length door moulding strip, sensibly incorporated to protect the Matiz in its native environment ?在两翼,较能确定的车全长大门造型地带理智包含在其本土matiz保护环境? supermarket car parks.超市停车场. Elsewhere, you?ll find body-coloured door handles and folding mirrors.在其他地方,你呢?当地找到身体颜色和折叠镜门柄. The interior came in for a spruce-up, with the seatbelts featuring pretensioners, the anti-lock braking software was improved, the seatback heights were raised to help prevent neck injuries in collisions and the body structure was re-engineered for additional crashworthiness.内政部进来了云杉上,与安全带预展出,防抱死软件改善昂首高地的seatback为防止碰撞和颈部受伤被机体结构重整额外耐撞. A stainless steel exhaust and a fundamental revision of the engine?s mounting points also resulted in a quieter car.不锈钢排气和根本性修改引擎?收盘登车点,也造就了宁静. The 800cc engine remained.800cc的发动机依然.
The end of the road for the Matiz came with the demise of Daewoo but the car did continue briefly with Chevrolet badging until the arrival of an all-new model in early 2005.路底的手中消亡大宇matiz但雪佛兰轿车那样继续简要身份卡,直到抵达一个全新的模式2005年初.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The Daewoo Matiz was probably the most significant of the South Korean company's wave of fresh products launched in the late 1990s: certainly, it was the most advanced.大宇matiz也许最重要的韩国公司的浪潮在90年代后期开始的新鲜产品:当然,这是最先进的. Take the styling, penned by ItalDesign of Turin.以造型、旅居海外的italdesign都灵. This was the kind of car we read about as children - the kind of car we were told we would be driving in the Twenty First Century.这是什么样的车,因为我们读到的儿童告诉我们什么样的车,我们将推动在第二十一世纪. Space for four adults, yet exterior dimensions that enable you to almost park sideways in the garage should you so wish.四个大人的空间,不过外观尺寸,让你几乎在车库园区侧身你们应该这样做. Here at last was a Far Eastern citycar without a ridiculously high roofline and aerodynamics akin to a garden shed.这里是远东最后citycar无奇高、空气动力学roofline池中花园棚. Here was a car you could place on your driveway without embarrassment: something you could remove the badges from and place in a much more prestigious showroom.这里是一个你可以把你的车行车无尴尬:取消警衔的,你可以有地方和声望更陈列室. It?s also a car that genuinely challenged the class leading European opposition, though sadly it could not do so on equal terms.?又一辆车真正的挑战欧洲级领导反对派虽然可惜不能做到一视同仁.
The Daewoo engineers saw to that by installing a tiny 800cc powerplant under the bonnet, a unit with the same volume as a nice bottle of Cabernet.大宇工程师看到这种电站将安装一个小小的800cc下头盖,一组具有相同数量的尼斯一瓶蛇龙珠. Certainly, this 50bhp three-cylinder engine was pretty advanced (dramatically so compared to some of the company's other efforts).当然,这三个50bhp缸发动机得漂亮先进(比起有些戏剧性等公司的其他工作). Without sheer cubic capacity, however, it couldn?t provide the long distance refinement and performance of, say, a 1.3-litre Ford Ka or a 1.4-litre SEAT Arosa.无污立方米容量,但是,对于做?笔提供长途细化和表现,例如1.3公升家福特或一个1.4公升arosa席位. To be fair, both of these rivals were significantly more expensive than the Matiz, even in their cheapest forms.平心而论,这两个对手明显比matiz,甚至在他们最便宜的方式. In any case Daewoo point out, justifiably, that cars of this kind are not normally used over long distances.大宇指出,无论如何,名正言顺,这种车通常不会使用长途. For one thing, none of them have the luggage capacity to carry more than a few soft bags.一方面,他们当中有能力携带行李超过数软袋. The Matiz is no different but, unlike the European alternatives, it does at least have five doors opening into a cabin much larger than you might expect.<matiz无异但不像欧洲替代它至少有五成的门开了,你可能远较预期舱.
Despite being 125mm shorter than the tiny Ford Ka, the one-box design means one of the largest citycar wheelbases you?ll find.尽管福特125mm少于小小的家,一个方框就是一个最大设计citycarwheelbases你?当地找到. This in turn meant class-leading leg, head and elbow room.这又意味着级领导腿部、头部和肘部空间. Refreshingly, Daewoo didn?t try to pretend that this is trying to be some kind of cut-price, shrunken MPV.清新、大宇雾化?笔试假装这是试图将某种压价,缩水巡逻艇. However, it is acceptably versatile, with a 60:40 split rear seat and a low-opening tailgate.不过,这是可以接受的多才多艺,以60:40一分后座低开栏板. The interior won?t offend either ?内政部获胜?笔得罪要么? unless you have an aversion to black or grey plastic.除非你有灰色或黑色塑料反感. In fact, the fixtures and fittings are pretty much the same as you?ll find in an upscale Daewoo Leganza ?其实,装修材料都是大同小异吧?在当地找一个高档大宇leganza? which probably reflects better on the Matiz than the Leganza.这大概反映较好的比leganzamatiz.
Standard equipment on the entry-level SE model runs to twin front airbags, power steering, a two-speaker stereo and metallic paint.标准设备的入门级模式运行硒双胞胎战线气袋、动力转向、双金属漆、立体议长. The SE+ version adds central locking, electric front windows, two more stereo speakers, alloy wheels and a roof-mounted rear spoiler.硒+版增订中央锁、前电动窗、两个立体多讲,合金轮子和屋顶式后排破坏者. There?s also an air-conditioned version available.?收盘也有空调版刊物. When new, the Matiz boasted the same standard-setting after-sales package common to all Daewoos which basically left the carefree purchaser with zip to pay for the first three years apart from insurance and fuel.当新同样的matiz捧标准制订售后一揽子共同所有daewoos基本上离开无忧无虑买方支付与拉链头三年除了保险和燃料. No servicing costs, Group 2 insurance and a likely 50mpg average all combine to create a three-year ownership cost of 12.9 pence per mile which made the Matiz the UK?s cheapest car to run.无服务费用、第二组保险和可能结合起来,创造一切50mpg平均三年所有权成本12.9便士每英里使得matiz英国?最便宜的车走. Buying nearly new allows the buyer to get the best of this package with an even smaller upfront purchase price.允许购买新买主几乎揉合了这套更小笔货款.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices for the Daewoo Matiz start at around £1,200 for a 1998 R-plate SE model.大宇matiz价格为1200英镑左右开始为1998年的R硒平板模式. Expect to budget around £2,900 for a more recent 2003 52-registered example.预料预算大约为2900英镑,较2003年近52注册例子. The better-equipped SE+ variant would start at £1,300 and reach £2,600 for a 2002 51-plate model.了拥有优势装备+硒变种将逼近1300英镑,2002年为2600英镑,达到51-板模式. Pay an extra £100 for a car equipped with ABS and a £150 more if it has been specified with air-conditioning.额外支付100英镑配备ABS的汽车和150多英镑,如果已经指定了空调. Insurance is an almost negligible Group 2.保险集团是微乎其微2.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The awards heaped upon the Matiz all testify to the fact that it hasn?t developed any significant faults during its existence.所有获奖加重matiz证明它独具特色吗?笔研制期间任何重大过失的存在. It will in all likelihood have transported children, so check the cabin for rips, stains and other damage wreaked by small hands.它将有可能在运送儿童,所以检查机舱核糖,污渍和其他人为破坏的小手. The luggage bays should also be examined for evidence of wear and tear.行李还应停车检查证的磨损.
These models should have been exposed to a fair amount of city driving, so check the exterior for knocks and scrapes, and check under the bonnet for accident damage or paint overspray.这些模式应该已经暴露相当城驾驶所以对于磕磕碰碰、擦伤外观检查、核对,为下头盖意外损坏或油漆过量. Otherwise, the usual reminder to obtain a service history applies.否则,通常适用史催领服务. The Daewoo after-sales package is excellent, and a used Matiz may well be better serviced than many of its rivals.大宇售后包装很好,用了好盖销matiz可能比许多竞争对手. Avoid high-mileage cars if possible.避免高里程车如果可能.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1999 Matiz SEi) Matiz spares aren?t anything to panic about.(基于大约1999matiz世)matiz备件西哈莫尼?笔有所恐慌. Air filters cost £7, whilst fuel filters will only relieve you of £11, and spark plugs are less than £3 for a full set.空气过滤成本英镑7,而燃油过滤你只会减轻英镑11而火花塞少于3全套英镑. A cam belt will only be £30 to replace.凸轮带了30只取代英镑. Easy.易.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The Matiz looks as if it a spell behind the wheel would be about as much fun as eating flour.<matiz看起来好像是一场车轮后面约乐乐吃面粉. Fortunately it isn?t.好在它肖国?汤匙 All right, so rest to sixty takes an age (17.0s) on the way to just 89mph and even slight motorway inclines leave the noisy three-cylinder engine gasping for breath.好吧,这样一个时代需要休息60月(17.0s)途中刚刚89mph甚至略有高速公路野心家离开喧嚣3缸发动机喘气. Around town, however, it?s quite nippy enough, with sharp, direct steering and excellent all-round visibility.围绕城市,但它?nippy收盘相当够,尖、直接指导和优秀的全方位视野. If the notchy gearbox leads you to enquire about an automatic, however, you?ll be disappointed; amazingly there isn?t one.如果你线索notchy变速箱自动查询,不过,你呢?当地感到失望;拍案叫绝有肖国?笔之一. Daewoo engineers are working on a clutchless manual system.大宇工程师正为clutchless手工制.
Still, if you want a Citycar for city driving and don?t mind changing gear yourself, the Matiz makes a reasonable case for itself dynamically and excels financially.但是,如果你想要citycar城市驾驶和顿河?笔记齿轮改变自己,matiz作出合理的动态情况和自身财政傲视. This is arguably Daewoo?s best model yet and, as an inexpensive second car for your family, a used Matiz could be just the ticket.这可以说是大宇?不过,最好的模式,因为你的家庭轿车便宜二、可以只用一个matiz机票.
OVERALL 总体
If you?re an undemanding driver who is after something cheap and cheerful, the Matiz is the best bet around.如果你?再经过一个一般化的司机是一件愉快而又廉价的matiz才是最佳左右. For light shopping and A to B city jaunts, its compact dimensions and zingy engine work very well.二、以轻型购物城捧场,其尺寸紧凑,发动机工作zingy很好. Out on the open road, it becomes a bit engulfed and other rivals with larger engines acquit themselves far more comfortably.列在公开道变得有点吞蚀引擎和其他较大的竞争对手自己脱罪从容得多. As a second car, a used Matiz is almost too cheap to turn down.作为第二车,几乎是用matiz太便宜拒绝. It?s reliable, modern looking, and a nearly new example will confer the peace-of-mind that made it such an attractive new buy.?收盘可靠、现代刀下例如,近新会授予和平--记新买了这种吸引力. Recommended.推荐.
