Driver Elderly woman test-drives car over edge of cliff

An elderly woman has had a lucky escape after the disabled-adapted car she was test-driving plummeted over the edge of a 100-foot hillside in Highcliffe, Dorset.

The woman, who has problems with her legs, had been trying to get used to newly-fitted hand-controls in her green Perodua Myvi.
And another report:

The Daewoo Matiz went over the cliff at Highcliffe, near Christchurch, shortly before 1030 BST on Sunday.
Which is it? (Never heard of either car, are they similar?)

Perodua Myvi No I've never heard of it before today. Apparently Perodua's are rebadged Daihatsu's.

Daewoo Matiz. Sold in the US as the Chevrolet Spark I believe.

Different cars but very similar appearance.

It's the Chevrolet Aveo in the US, actually.
