Chevrolet Optra [Merged]

[niky]

Out of curoisity how much is the periodic maintenance Service checkup of Ford and Toyota?

I'm paying 4,000 or so for my 2.0. If it's one of those PMS's that doesn't require anything but oil and an oil filter, 2,600 or so.

Kawawa naman ang Optra binugbog nyo todo.

So far, Optra namin 1 problem lang, paos yung busina. I love the suspension though (ridewise), konti nalang, parang yung E34 ko na (my E34 wears 225/55R16). Firm but not jarring. Interior is muy comfortable.

Ikaw naman bluebmw, love d bimmer, but keep an open mind.

What horn does your Optra have?
I've heard many later model Optras with a horn tone similar to the Astra's, not sure if those are standard though.

diba free yung first 30,000km PMS ng Chevy?

BTW i observed lang that the idling of the optra A/T is at 1,000 RPM. That's without aircon. it seems a bit high since some of my other cars have idling at 500-700 rpm lang with A/C off. Might be the cause of the high fuel mileage of the optra.

Just found this post dated 2-24-2006......

Question: Do we really need to tweak the ECU to get a lower idling? Baka naman kasi all it will take is just a slight twist of a screw sa gas pedal mechanism (or whatever you call it).

Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to reply.

Ilang years ba talaga ang warranty ng Optra?

yung mga bagong labas na Optra, wala ng free PMS.
ito yung mga units na may 61k discount... at ganito yung unit ko.

mahal ang PMS nila... susugalan ko na yung warranty ko.
sa labas na lang ako magpapachange oil.
anyway nakapaglagay naman na ako ng muffler at filter, malamang
ay void na rin naman ang warranty ko... hehehe.

[SupreMacy]

sobrang pangit kasi yung stock na muffler... kaya yun yung inuna kong palitan.
triangular pa nga yung stock na muffler eh, nakakatawa ang hitsura.

[gearspeed]

Yes, only in the USA. In Canada its also known as a Chevy Optra.

In Canada the Optra slots between the Aveo and Cobalt, they seem to prefer small cars since they offer more compact models in canada compared to the USA.

Its been out since 2003, its a known fact that fuel efficiency is the Optras weakest point. Many people buy it for its overall value.

Its as stupid as seeing a Picanto with a sticker that reads "157 liter trunk space Check yours!"

Anyway, the Chevy Optra seems to be doing ok since I see a handful of new models on the road everyday...
