- The Fiat Seicento story has more to it than meets the eye...
To explain and dive into what the Seicento might’ve been, I teamed up with Ian Seabrook of HubNut fame, to find out if Myrtle The Daewoo Matiz is any match for the Super Seicento...

HUBNUT VIDEO NOW LIVE! Technical difficulties, soz 😬
I guess it's what we all do, who's is best etc, think we can say after these two tests they are both loved by their respective owners, and that all cars have their plusses and minuses, but all the life experiences good and bad have to be factored into the particular car ownership equation too 😉
For sure! And with both so cheap, why not have both? 🤔
@@MillerCorner 🤔 Mmmm even a sport exhaust on Myrtle could take the grin factor to insane levels 😆
Not sure you saw my comment, but i have a seat arosa if you want to try it out, it was a close rival of the seicento. Located nr birmingham
Cool!
small cars + small engines = fun - you can thrash them and drive on its limit with no danger to life, limb or your wristwatch - license savers.
Gotta love 'em!
That is a crossover I never expected to see being subscribed to both channels haha, this is great
Hubnut follower here....completely floored by your advanced, 20th century TWO camera/edited, alternating video!! 😮😮... One day Ian, one day... Fun video, enjoyed your energy!
Welcome to the future! 😎
Terrific review, HubNut ought to be delighted!
Our local garage had a Matiz courtesy car for many years, it was always a fun little thing to drive.
HubNut sent me here.
That "small car but feels big" line immediately made me think of a mk1 Punto, feels much roomier than many modern cars even though it's much much older
Myrtle rocks tho, a real nugget!
I can’t get enough of that noise!
Addictive stuff!
FINALLY!!! Someone understands the cheap and cheerful JOY of dirt-cheap tiny, barebones cars!! Joe's overflowing joy for this stripped down run-about is AWESOME!! I own a 2017 Chevrolet Spark (essentially a Vauxhall Viva with a 4th cylinder) with a manual transmission and it's a BLAST!! I own the base model...crank-down windows and manual door locks and I LOVE it. No pretense, no flim-flam, just an honest little car that's a street legal go-kart. Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Long live stripped out tin cans with motors!!
The reason why Ian says the matiz likes to be thrashed, is because he thrashes everything...👍
Hilarious video. You're talking about speed and excitement while a Dacia Duster plows past you.
Good news! The Dacia Duster can out drag a Dawewoo Matiz uphill!
@@MillerCorner But is it as fun and engaging to drive as a Matiz? I would say probably not. You got youself a new subscriber.
@@Perkelenaattori from a begginer is super fun driving the matiz i mean obviosly isnt a ferrari but does the job you just need to know how to shift gears amazing for city i dont have any long trip yet but looking foward for that
Enjoyed this - I got directed from the HubNut channel. Glad you liked Myrtle, I've subscribed now - all good stuff! 😁
Thanks for joining! 😁
Well done Myrtle 😉
Three cylinder engine noises are intoxicating. They sound like old six cylinder engines.
First time I drove a Toyota Aygo a few years ago this is exactly what I thought. I used to own a 1982 Audi Coupe GT with a 1.9l 5 cylinder engine - that also sounded amazing when throttled up., a reall offbeat rasp and also a nice burble at idle too. Not exactly the full rally Audi Quattro, but it put a smile on your face for sure.
Okay, I'll be honest.. As an 18 year old on the look out for a first car and coming across this video, I LOVE this car
It's a wicked little thing!
but it man i am 19 year old and it is my first car bloody amazing and the noise that babe makes when you push him a litle is blody addicting
Great video Joe! Myrtle looks like a right laugh...that noise is just amusing. Imagine what an intake and exhaust would sound like, haha!
I always forget the history of the Matiz and it's ties to FIAT...thanks for the reminder! As you said though, at least we got two little zippy cars out of it rather than one! Top work to both of you - off to watch Ian's video now! :D
Can you imagine that noise with an intake and stainless exhaust?! 😍
Two awesome, cheap little nuggets - what's not to love? 😁
@@MillerCorner Amen on all counts! Love both of 'em! Also happy to see you both enjoy each other's rides! :D
I wonder if I can shrink the Accent to a smaller, nippier Matix/Seicento size...hmmmmm...
This comment is unrelated to this video, however I must comment.
I found you through HubNut and have only been a subscriber of HubNut for about a week. I must say your videos are excellent, and your dedication to your SS is quite admirable. I binge-watched the repair progress of your SS after that unfortunate accident you had on the way back from Poland. You are well spoken and a joy to listen to. The very same can be said for HubNut too. I didn't expect to find both of these channels, but I'm glad I did. Please keep the great content up! These videos appeal to me much more than the typical car CZcamsr that reviews higher end super cars (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Thanks for the content!
Thanks Ishmael! Glad you enjoy, plenty more to come 😁
I like both despite their differences they are different takes on the same market segment but i would look for both as a first car.
New to your channel, and currently watching older episodes, great fun so far, and nice to see someone passionate about their own car. Nice review on Ian's car, subscribed.
Thanks Paul! Welcome to the channel 😁
Awesome video there Joe glad you guys got to meet in the end
HubNut follower here. Excellent review on the Matiz. Back in 2002 my local Fiat stealership were offering pre reg'd base model Seicentos for £4995, I was sorely tempted but bought a different used car instead.
You got another subscriber, Hub Nut brought me hear. Great reviews and you have so much respect for these little cars. If you ever decide to buy a Daewoo they looked great in the burnt orange they offered.
Thanks Jonathan! That would be my choice of colour, complete with luxurious three-spoke alloys 😎
Oh this going to be interesting hear what Ian says
I've just subscribed to your channel having watched Hubnuts review of your car. I love your car great job you have done.
Thanks Mark!
Found this video in my feed. I have a Matiz too (also the 3 cylinder). It does sound really good for sure.
I drive a lot of 3 cylinder cars because I work for a car dealership but none of those sound like the Matiz.
I love mine too !
Thanks for this fun video -> liked and subscribed.
Hi. Just come from hubnut. Really enjoyed your review. Both cars are great and wouldn't mind owning either one. And yes three cylinder cars do sound awesome.
Thanks David 😁 I can still hear that sound!
Bit late to the party I know, but that was very enjoyable. I've been a Hubnutter for years (I'm working my way through Hubnut vids I've watched before, COVID stir crazy and all that), liking your channel, you have a new subscriber! :)
Thanks for watching, welcome along 😁
Great video! I used to have Smart Forfour Mk1 which was a Mitsubishi Colt underneath the Smart bodywork. It had a 3 cylinder engine that sounded great, very similar to the sound of the Matiz. Had the car for 9 years, loved it so much. My current car has 4 cylinders ans doesn't sound the same sadly.
The 3 cylinder growl is addictive and the Matiz ain't that slow. If you give it time it will cruise easily at motorway speeds and max out at about 90-95. It doesn't sound as if it's straining at that speed either. Not bad for 800ccs and 3 cylinders..I'm on my second Matiz. I've now got the 1000, but it hasn't got the same soundtrack as my old 800..
You've just got another sub! Brilliant vid & wicked crossover with HubNut. :D
Nice little review on Myrtle and we all have cars we love then mines a bike and vert loved the vid top work
Nice to see some of the highlights of good old Peterborough...and a crazy welsh connection too...
Just watched Hubnut drive your car and it has brought me here , you have a great channel and I have subscribed .
Thanks Shaun 😁
Fantastic collaboration both videos are great and you both have been very fair on each other’s cars.
Well, Ian brought me here and after watching the video thats me subscribed. I'm around Ian's age and its great seeing the younger generation into this stuff, means it'll survive longer. Both cars are class and if I had to choose I'd go for the Matiz and thats purely down to the fact it has back doors, if I rarely used the back seat then I'd have either one.
Welcome along! Glad you enjoyed and feeling the Matiz love myself 😁
@@MillerCorner Thank you, I did enjoy the video, liked your passion and that you don't take yourself too seriously (the Ian mini me 😂) checked your channel contect and that was me in.
Imagine what you'd do to that matiz... alloys,lecky windows,and stainless exhaust.
Hope you have good wipers, he does have a thing about wipers!
Always room in the fleet for one more 😉
It sounds good when thrashed - it sounds like a tiny V6! Don’t think Ian drives Myrtle as hard but its so cool
Oh he does, believe me! The noise is too addictive to drive slowly
I bet he does off camera he hoons all his cars, he hoons twc, elly and foxanne..... He's a hoonigan
I've just come over from Hub Nut to see your review, great review, and love both the cars, there both good in there own way :-)
For sure! Thanks Stephen 😁
Followed over from Hubnut's Video. Nice review. Liked and subscribed. :-)
Thanks Lesley! Appreciate it :D
Well Joe, you looked like a cat with a saucer full of cream throughout this video!
I'm here from the HubNut side. Great video, you've got a new subscriber 👍
Thanks Dan 😁
Matiz 0 - 60mph in 3 days😂😂
As I said to mr Hubnut drag race too commence, great video, I new to your channel and thank,god for you and Hubnut let’s have moooooore.
Hubnut brought me here, love your channel, have subscribed.
Welcome along 😁
Thanks for the introduction hubnut, subscribed
Two brilliant little cars, really enjoyed both reviews. Thank you.
Thanks Mike 😁
Excellent review! i share the same opinion on 3 cylinders haha, fantastic sound lol
My wife has a little Seicento and loves it. It is perfect for getting around where we live in Greece.
Great video nice to see some good old classic cars
Always loved three cylinder engines, sound much nicer than boring old four pots. The first gen C1/107/Aygo must be starting to fall into the "cheap nugget" category by now, and they have great little engines.
My daughter just bought Pug 107, loving that thrummy lil 3 pot :)
I always wanted the Fiat Seicento, but you can't even find them in South Africa on the second hand market.
The Daewoo Matiz. Well got one after looking for an Opel Kadett/ Vauxhall Astra and couldn't find a 1.4i. All the cars had problems I couldn't live with, and there in 2005 a burnt orange 0.8iS 2000 model was standing. Originally when it came out. Thought that would be cool to own, bought it before discussing with my family. As my brother always had the last say, according to them. Pulled up, and served me well. Best full tank range I got was 900km (562miles) before filling up, or the fuel light came on (with the light I normally got another 100km (62miles)). I moved house in one, got the futon double bed in (folded obviously), with an automatic top loader that was big for then in with half my wardrobe. Two trips and the move was done, for the items that could fit in. With the seats down, it gobbles up everything.
Reason I didn't go for the Seicento was already in trouble for not buying a Toyota, and didn't need the hassle of being shouted at for a 3 door car.
Drove long distances in the Matiz. With one way road trips being between 600 and 1000miles. My normal weekend trips of 200miles, were quick easy, no stress. Did everything my friends did with cars twice the size.
Who said, bigger is better
Came here via HubNut, had a peek around, enjoyed myself, subscribed.
Welcome on board! 😁
You be careful what you say about our Myrtle! ;-) Really enjoyed this one, as well as Ian’s review of your excellent Fiat.
Don't you worry, I'm a fan 😁
This car is a brilliant machine has a good engine , have owned iit since 1998, its 23 years old still running good, but i upgraded to alloys and its now amazing, i haven't used it much tho because i wasnt driving around for passing time, just took it out for important events and for work.
Great little video and thank you, thanks for saying that you can have more fun thrashing a little, low-powered car to its limits at slow speed than you can with a high-power, high-speed machine that you can't get anywhere near exploiting without getting into license-losing territory. Nippy little motors rule!
Yep sounds great.
Top review MC.
Thanks mate!
Needs a turbo or supercharging.
Thank you for both videos old old story you pays the your money and takes yours choice both look good ......
Pleasure, Ian! Both are great fun!
I think your fiat has better handling and is more sporty but the matiz is the other half of the coin with reliability and practicality. I'm impressed, I thought the matiz would have been a joke. Well done for your honest review.
Dear ol’ Myrtle! Getting a spanking, from another master - and liking it!
This “Auto-Swinging” is a fun concept! Haha! Very entertaining reviews - Yours and Mr Hub Nut’s - I would like to to check out these models myself at some point. Fun times!
You know the old expression about keys in the bowl...? 😉
Great little video
Both great little cars......both superb reviews! 👍
Thanks Barry 😁
@@MillerCorner Pleasure dear chap. Subscribed to you now......it's only fair! 😉
Great video. Subscribed.
Had to subscribe after the Hubnut crossover, great video
Welcome along Malcom 😁
Brilliant machine, we had one for 9 years & still miss its character
Great review of Myrtle, thanks!! . You need to issue knee alerts, although your knees are not quite as knobbly and hairy as Ian's :-)
the seat arosa was also a rival, ive got one if you want to test it, near birmingham
MY DAEWOO MATIZ CONSUMES A LOT OF FUEL. it IS AUTOMATIC? EVERYTHING IS WORKING WELL WITH THE CAR SO I AM A BIT CONFUSED. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT?
Do you like the Ford s-max and would you buy one?
Anyone an idea of the max driver height these cars could fit? I'm 6'10'', guessing I should be looking for another model...
Hubnut got me here, glad you enjoyed that matiz 🙂
Super video! Big like!
My first car was the grey and orange trim T reg Abarth Seicento. Love the Abarth styling. It's a fun car to drive but it can have so many issues, mine had bad rust and a dodgy engine.
Always admired the Matiz wanted an SE plus in burned orange! Had my Seicento for 7 years.. have another on my drive to nurse to health
Cool little car👍. Just bought myself a Honda jazz 2009 I vtec. My yaris mk1 became a money pit so off it went 😜
That matiz has a right poker face on it lol
Had an 09 jazz myself - the 1.2
Enjoying the car? Used to get 60+ mpg on mine
@@io504 I am enjoying it, it seems a bit firsty on petrol though, but it is the 1.4 and I don't always stick to the green arrow gear change light lol. How reliable was yours? Mine only has 52k on clock and a very good mot history
The views are flying in...
i watched hub nut ,video on friday. he said he grinned from ear to ear, you might of hooked him into modified small cars.
he did try removing a pipe, which gave more power. but also caused over heating ect.., what tips have you for him..?
I'd say switch to a cone air filter, maybe some sort of silencer delete 🤔 or, in HubNut fashion, wait for the exhaust to fall off 😂
In Brazil they sold the chinese copy of that car, called the Chery QQ, but thankfully it's pretty much exact the same as the original Matiz except the exterior design is a bit different, all of the positives you mentioned in this video are present in the QQ, it's a great value for money car because it's full of features from the factory and it's cheap, my uncle had one of these in metallic blue and he only said great things, it's in the list my potencial first car to buy.
50bhp? You need one of those engines per wheel!!! And a damned big turbo.
3.2 litre, 12 cylinder, AWD Matiz?! I feel a build coming on... 🤔
@@MillerCorner Maybe I'm over doing it. 125bhp would be great. It would really shift.
I own a 900cc seicento. Have you ever test one of these?
Have yet to drive one, actually 🤔
Ian got you another subscriber 👍😉 that was fun. You must do more together.
Maybe you could both work on some light mods for Myrtle.
Thanks mate 😁 banging stereo and big chromies incoming 😉
@@MillerCorner
I did say light mods 😉
Discrete: new air intake, better tyres, brakes and shocks.
Chromies and thumping stereo ? Er no really not the man's style at all. Alternatively you could garage Myrtle while he's off globe trotting, work on it while he's away and then do a "pimp my Matiz" on him by pickng him up at the airport in it when he gets back 😁
A nice review of this cheerful little car - the car is rather better than I thought it might be. I reckon Fiat missed a trick rejecting this body design. It seems way more practical than the Seicento.
More practical, more top heavy though 😬
I suppose it’s not too far off the panda though that came after the Seicento shape wise
So it wasn’t a permanent rejection by any means 😉
As a Matiz owner, i tottaly approve!
Just seen an 800cc one locally on autotrader for not a lot..... sorely tempted as the Grande Punto continues to underwhelm if not dissapoint
Did you finish in Oundle? I am fairly local that's all.
Hey man! I currently own the same car as you and I really like the angle eye light for the seicento. I was wondering where on earth you got them?! Thanks!
Angel eyes? None off the shelf I'm afraid, bud - they have to be custom made
Miller Corner sorry if I’m incorrect... it’s just I saw the Poland video and I really liked how they had their headlights... thanks anyways!
i knew a guy out in Portland, Or. who bought one of those terrible little Fiat 850 spyders, he blew up the engine and then swapped a Mazda rotary into it. goes like stink. he does carry tools and extra axles. little cars are fun.
He carries extra axles 😂😂 you know it's bad when...
Do you have any future Punto content coming up ? Love watching Punto content to get a few ideas for my AGP. Hard to find many in English tbh. Cons of owning an Italian Hatch I guess.
Very true! I won't be owning another one any time soon, but I do wanna get some cool Puntos on at some stage...
Did you get rid of the red Multi Air one you had a few months back then ?
Thanks to Hubnut I have subscribed to your channel
Cheers Tom 😁
You should review his 2006 Daihatsu Charade. It sounds even better than the Matiz.
Did you ironically miss the "fruit" out of your channel name? Oh wait that's Müller isn't it... ;D
Has the matiz vvti
Where did you get that GTV T shirt?
eBay, my friend! About £8 from memory...
How about a race around Cadwell?
You have got the "triangle of doom" in your Fiat , Hubnut is petrified about that 😁😄
Miller...challenge Ian to do it up then. Myrtle gets mental.
Boost incoming 😈
Shakey camera, ya must have been a bit star struck.
Subbed
Too much caffeine! 😬
I had a Scicento a couple of year @t be fair it wasnt a bad little car.I didnt think there was not much room for shopping !
When i drove it, i always had to wear lite shoes.....Bloody imposible to drive with a dirty great pair of boots on :)
But on the whole not a bad little motor. !
omg the matiz is older than mr miller but i like him and ive subscribed
Au contraire, I'm older by approximately 9 months 😁 (but thanks for subscribing regardless 😋)
woops sorry i was close , and im impressed
If you get the Chevrolet Matiz it comes with a rev counter - you can drive it for fun on the rev counter rather than the speedo
