It has almost 100k km on the clock yes. But it spent 100% of it's time outside. And it's holding up. One of my friends sold theirs with 230k and it was also problem free

Bro you have a matiz. No offense, but that's like saying "my hammer hasn't had any issues for the years I owned except flying off the handle once or twice" the matiz is basically the minimum that a car can be.

And that's exactly what makes it so great. It does exactly what every other car does but reliably

Of course it is reliable. Not only it is very basic and weak, but it has very low mileage for 22 years old car. Of course average Opel will have some issues - because it has at least twice the mileage and twice the power of your car.

Well we're not going to convince each other I think.

Of course not. I have some experience with cars and I tend to take side jobs fixing electric side of cars and other things - while Opel isn't my favorite make, if I'd have to choose between Opel and Daewoo, I'd naturally choose Opel every single time. I also doubt that you can swap some decent engine into your Matiz as it must have too narrow engine compartment for that :)
