Chevrolet Optra [Merged]

We have already a very similar thread on this.. one quote from our member here in tsikot, has even compare this buying an Optra, to a Home theather system.. one brand is "Promac" HT with all the functions you need in a very low price versus "Pioneer or Sony" brand na basic ang functions at much higher price... Nakamura ka nga sa Promac,, tunog "lata" naman... maybe ganito rin ang explanation once you bought an Optra.....try mong e search dito,, and you will find more revelation about this Car.....

medyo malakas sa gas, although very comfy inside.

Sabi sabi lang galing sa GM. Kaya nga, let's wait for local road-tests to find out if it's a promise kept or just a warm breeze from the PR department...

Nothing like that at all...
Overall the Optra is still a good car... of course Toyota and Honda biased fanatics judge it even before they test it.

It was in their press release, they did this to compensate for the added weight of the station wagon.

my personal experience with this car is not so pleasant. during the 10k km check-up, my car had a cel problem but gm alabang does not have the diagnostic equipment for this problem. so off it went to gm makati, and after 3 days and numerous calls they are still unable to find the cause. their service personnels are either incompetent or are doing guesswork when they did the diagnostics. sorry but i wouldn't recommend this car even it's dirt cheap.

Sorry for the bad experience you had with your Optra.
Others did not have that problem. could be a Lemon?

Honda can come up with dumb quality issues like falling gas tanks/ faulty steel bands holding the gas tank... and people still love them, Honda fans say they are just Lemons, Civic Lemon edition? since they made 12,480 of them! Its the power of the badge! :hihihi:

But for P724K(1.6 LS M/T), the Optra is known for its value for money, you get a lot of standard features compared to other car in the same price range...
Driver's airbag
ABS with EBD
4-wheel disc brakes
Five "3-point" seatbelts
5 in dash cd changer
6-speaker stereo system
Auxilliary power outlets

If you want fast or sporty... guess you have to wait fot the more expensive all-new Civic...

Kailan lalabas yung bagong civic? 2007?
