I have been driving Matiz for more than 4 years now. I have not gone to a dealer-just get it repaired by a mechanic who can handle Maruti-800and other cars. The AC in Matiz is superb- my family members often ask me to lower the cooling, lots of leg and head space.
I have driven it at 130kmph at some places-nothing to fear and a competitive average of higher than 17-18 kmpl with AC always on-of course on the highway. My car was bought @1, 15 plus in Delhi-third hand-2000 model fully loaded.I have never been remorseful. I just wanted to exchange it for Spark but after reading reviews I have decided to keep my Matiz. A friend who is in the US now and who had purchased Matiz after me has dared to compare this car with high-end cars in comfort and security. I would enlist the plus points of Matiz
Leg and head space
Reliability and security
Premium AC for 800cc
5 seater
Low repair costs if you drive in city only
High average per km pl with AC on
Low parking and turning area
Extremely low price for this segment and facilities provided
No problem of spares as some parts can be used from Maruti stable also
Any efficient mechanic can repair easily
I have owned and driven Premier Padmini for 13 years before switching over to Matiz. I had driven that vehicle from Chandigarh to Kanyakumari and Raxaul. So this review albeit first, should be considered seriously. all comments are most welcome.
