Was looking at a 02-reg Daewoo Matiz 0.8 for sale locally on AutoTrader. I put the reg plate into the taxdisc.direct.gov.uk website and it comes up with the road tax being £150 for the 12 months. How is tax that much for just a 796CC engine?
:eek:

It's not about the size anymore but the number of carbons.
Looks like BMW (for example) have spent more on R&D to get their cars into the lower bands than Daewoo.
p.s maybe if they charged £3000 tax for the Daewoo it would get the horridable things off the road lol0 -

No justice is there?, it is a farce.. Try and find an earlier model or different model, cars registered earlier have lower tax bands.
My Daughters 2000 W Reg. Mazda 323 with a 1300cc engine is only £120 a year.0 -
Ah I see. I checked the reg of an S-reg one too and it was only £125 tax with the same size engine.
RE nomoneytoday, how are they horrible? My grandparents have a newer version Chevrolet Matiz with a 1litre engine and I find it very nippy for getting from A to B around town.0 -

The Matiz, always was and still is a bundle of fun to drive! Wouldn't have one though as you have to carry enough speed thru bends to keep momentum. This however, means that you end up in a ditch or up and embankment lol.0

I had a lift in one a while ago, got in the back, I was amazed at how much room there was in it, truly amazing for a car of it's size.0

Daewoos are pretty awful when it comes to emissions / MPG considering the engine size. I'm sure the 1.6 astra from same generation engine is lower tax than my 1.6 lanos.0
