Ouch, sakit mo naman magsalita with regards to the cars mentioned... if you read all the posts/threads here at tsikot forum you can see that other cars like toyota, honda, mitsubishi, nissan, etc. also have the worse crappy dealership/service, they are also subject to lemon, with regards to resale value it depends how the car is being maintained, milages, year model etc...
furthermore, if you notice majority of those who criticize Optra's are the one don't even drive or owned one...

words "subject to", "can be", "are almost", were used by alwayz_yummy to define descriptions that could be subject for debate. So it can't be that bad. Peace! :victory:
BTW, if availability of parts ain't part of the comparo, both should do well. If it is, then both ain't a good buy as you tend to wait from 2 weeks to 2 months just to wait for parts that may or may not even arrive at all.
EDIT: Thanks Sir OTEP for the info. Sarap sampalin ng GM pag ung Thunder na 'to eh mas nagiistock pa ng parts ng Optra compared sa casas nila.

yun nga. yan ang di nacocover ng most comparo,e. i didnt say they're bad, pero may bad at good, just like any car.
hooked din naman ako sa cars na ito, i'm not brand concious kasi,e.. for data base ko po to. comparison lang. hirap icompare ung separates threads so made ako ng 1 straight comparo about this 2 uncommon, under-rated and under-appreciated beautiful cars. much much silang undervalued than nissan,e....so its a better buy sa 2ndhand market.

true... gm is getting their parts at thunder. main branch of thunder is in masangkay st, binondo. they have a warehouse on the opposite side of their shop. tried many times finding parts in almost all of the gm autoworld branches. they dont stock it. luckily thunder automotive and nemerson, both located in binondo, carry them.
