Matiz-Best among small cars

 

 I feel matiz to be the best small car launched in India till date. I bought a second hand 2001 model matiz in 2009 in coimbatore.I just made a service for 7000 rupees and the car runs very smooth. I was surprised at the stability of the car compared to Zen, Alto,Santro etc small cars. I drove the car till 150Kmph on coimbatore to bangalore highway on straight road and toped till 170kmph on slope downward on that highway. the car dint give even a little shake.Power steering is ok. Brakes are superb with Bridgestone tyres fitted. Its very easy to drive in cities too. I was thinking that the car was too small but after buying i felt the space was good. I get a mileage of 17kmpl on highway & 15kmpl in cities with air con off and 16kmpl on highway &13kmpl in cities with air con ON since my normal speed will be high. No one need to get frightened about the availability of spares. All the original spares are available at CAG coimbatore and there is no problem of maintanence.

 

 The problem i face with this car is tat the gearbox is bit notchy and the pickup drops with air con on so i need to press pedal hard to accelarate.

 

 As a overall i feel MATIZ to be the best car...
