Chevrolet Optra [Merged]

Nope, parts for the Optra are still hard and expensive. we had a problem with our optra last year and the CASA didn't have the parts available. 1 month daw bago dumating plus it was expensive.
The new facelifted optra looks nice but can you see any of them plying the roads. i have only seen 1 since its introduction months ago. Its not a bad car but resale value is 1 of the lowest in the country. So very few people are buying it anymore, i think even corporations found out bout its high conusmption and choose the other brands.

To be based on the updated GM Delta platform that will be shared by other upcoming GM compact cars including the next Opel Astra....

oh my,.... if thats real, then its a very very very big improvement in the looks department. the interior looks nice too, i hope those arent cheap plastics.. I also hope they improve the engines as well since I'm disappointed by the engine of the current optra.

For the Wagon and Sedan I can vouch that they have excellent after sales.

i heard some lemon cars about the optra.. but for me na swertehan lng cguro pag kuha ko..i owned 1.6L 2005 m/t which is the fuel consumption average 8-9km/l sometimes goes to 10km/l pa.. with full a/c. city driving and 16-18 long run. 3yrs old, no problem engine aside sa aircon lng which is sometimes amoy panis when u turn on in the morning. but d naman consistent minsan lng yung amoy..180km/h top speed ko i dunno if mag gain pa to..past problems na bunde yung left headlight bulb so i replace new one..wiring sa ilalim kinagat ng daga..

..and abnormal fuel gauge but its already fixed with the casa..not yet ive seen any rust in the car..i used petron extra unleaded ever since i brought the car..so totally im pretty much happy naman cuz d ako naka kuha ng lemon car ng chevy..thanks

lucky for you carrotz, i guess since my optra belonged to the first batch then it had some problems... i have encountered most of the common complains like bad fuel comsumption.. i only get 6 km/L. Defective fuel pump. Defective CD changer. and i even had a defective washer motor for the windshield... Grrr... Only the fuel pump and washer motor got fixed. Coudn't replace the CD changer since it was already beyond the warranty period.

**barracudaxxx** · February 20th, 2008 04:06 PM

yup luck you! so are you going to keep your optra or planning to sell it when the new model arrives?

**carrotz** · February 20th, 2008 04:43 PM

nope ill keep it muna..if ever im gonna sell my car cguro ill buy japanese car na cguro, baka kasi mag upgrade ako sa new version ng optra baka lemon car na makuha ko

..hehehe sa ngayon nag eenjoy ako sa mga kunting euro-euro modz ko..para if ever ibenta ko atleast medyo mataas kasi marami ng dagdag u know naman mura nalang ang optra pag ibenenta mo..how bad talaga noh..dami na nga lemon cars na chevy mura pa pag ibenta mo..
