The review of the Optra by C! Magazine was ok. Rebadged Daewoo but it's made in Thailand. Are we seeing the influx of Korean designed cars with better quality?

only time will tell. IMO, for as long as quality is good, it wouldn't matter if it's from Korea, Thailand, Japan, etc.

the Optra looks like a solid package. let's just hope it stays solid for long.

rather get the Ford Lynx... at least you know what you are getting.

**TJMaxx** · September 9th, 2003 11:27 PM

Get value for money. Lynx is one of those.
Of course, there's the old reliable - Toyota.
That GM/Daewoo thingy is untested here in
terms of after-sales support...

from latest survey it came third best selling in the 1.6l segment;

other threads suggest its air bags dont deploy on impact;

mura viz-a-viz lnyx, altis, civic, matrix;

features inferior than lynx;

made in thailand which is gaining bad exposure due to inferior quality builts even for other brands (i.e., spare tire rims & a/t gearbox problems for vios);

uncharted after sales service;

wala na akong maisip..

Second nung kakalabas lang sa casa may nakita kaming defect sa rim namin at tire hindi na pinalitan.They just told us that the insurance will take care of it.Im hoping nothing comes after these defects.

The Blaupunkt Manual says the Optra is equipped with a radio which can be switched on even without the key. The radio will run for 1hour and switch off after that to save on battery power.

Is this feature seen as a defect be some people? I find this a good feature on my Optra. I can leave people in the car whilst bringing the car keys with me and they at least have something to listen to.
