Daewoo Matiz The Matiz has won the Best City car in the 1998 World's Most Beautiful
Automobile competition and it draws involuntary smiles from even the wierdest of cretin.
Even the rear of this car is cute to look at. The engine is packaged tightly to provide a
great deal of front leg room and is throughly refined in its behaviour. However, all this
cuteness is lost when compared with the competition. The Santro an immediate competitor
scores over most features over the Matiz except in the looks department. Nevertheless,
Matiz offers good value for money. Go for it as you would for Aishwarya Rai.
