unlikely comparo: astra and optra

[OTEP]

Yep. Cargo bay pa lang talo na ang Astra sa Optra. Mas maluwag din backseat ng Optra. Sa front parang same lang ang accomodations.

Hi, totoo ba na 1.6 Optra consumes GAS like a 2.0 engine?

Nagkaroon ba ng RECALL on OPTRA before (parang may rumor na meron)?

What about OPTRA that most owners doesn't like?

Search the forums. there's a thread by batang_raon14 regarding this.

Certain first generation Optras had a drinking problem. There was no recall, but Chevrolet Balintawak offered a silent warranty service (computer reprogramming) to correct this. (Which they should have made public knowledge, as rumors of the Optra's gas-guzzling certainly hurt sales badly). The second-generation (facelifted) Optra had this corrected at the start. From the official DOE fuel-economy tests and from third-party (magazine) tests, the new Optras are apparently of at least average or above average fuel-efficiency.
