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?

[IMm29]

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.

[ghosthunter]

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

[TJMaxx]

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...

[tagalnasaabroad]

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..

Optra the only car that the stereo is still running without the key...hehehe.Isa na yan sa mga defects ng Optra namin...
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.

[Resty]

sabi nila the radio thing is not a defect, they intentionally designed it as such because sometimes people waiting in the car would want to listen to the radio with engine off. turning the key to Acc On would also activate the other electronic gadgets (and theere's a lot of these gadbets daw) - fuel pump meter or whatever, and would be more energy consuming.

i find the grill annoying. I love the rear styling

dapat ganito nalang yung front fascia ng optra:

[benchph1]

thats more like it! way better than the 3 pc grille we have here

but i still dont like the fact that its a daewoo - plus the horror stories ive heard about the car and its warranty service...nah no thanks

[mazdamazda]

Just an update, a 1.8L version is already available.

[glntVR]

ok naman ang optra! forget the daewoo badge and yung mga dealer naman depende yan sa dealer na pinuntahan mo. ok daw yun sa libis and sa makati pero mabagal service sa makati kasi madami pumupunta dun. it's really a value for money car. resale value lang and cons nito. pero i think its reliable na din naman.

hindi lang dyan sa pilipinas nakakaencounter ng problema ang optra,, kalalabas lng ng optra ko last july 2010 dito sa qatar,, nakarinig agad ako ng ingay sa transm2n sa mileage na 1000km.. buti na lng 5yrs waranty kay walang gastos...
