IMHO
Astig ang Optra, sobrang value for money, pero kahit saang Car maker naman eh may unit na ma dedespose sila na lemon. Swertihan kumbaga.

we have had an Optra for almost a year na. The biggest and only problem we have is the fuel economy. if the driver of the optra has a heavy right foot then you could only get around 4-5km/L in the car at city driving, althought i have tried driving it efficiently and was able to get around 7-8km/L but that means really slow acceleration and i find it quite impractical to keep driving it efficiently every day. You cant drive economically when you are in a hurry.
Aside from the fuel economy, there isnt any much problem i can find in the optra, barring little quirks and squeeks. the rest of the car is Ok if only the fuel economy wasnt so bad, it would have been a really great value for money car.

have a couple of friends who bought the optra and they have been complaining recently due to a lot of defects. they have used the car for more than a year now and they both say that quality is bad. let's just hope that other optra owners aren't experiencing the same kind of problem.

wac3, your friends are already lucky they got to enjoy 1 year of owning a optra defect free, since the day i got my optra, i am already having trouble with it

value for money but I can't say about its long term use though.

BTW, meron na pala Optra 1.8

no matter how good the car is, if the dealer is not exclusiver brand, mahirap. In this case, the dealer carries both chevy and subaru, and I think another brand. Lahat na multi brand dealership, either di tumatagal ang dealership, o after some years, they will drop some brands and start carrying others.

i havnt' tried driving this car so i cannot judge its performance. well all i can say is that its a value for money in terms of equipment. I like the blaupunkt stereo.

i drive an optra A/T. all i can say is its an ok car unless your looking for one that has good fuel economy. sobra takaw sa gas, mas matipid pa yung 2003 CRV. mahina hatak ng optra kaya kailangan mo tapakan pero pag tinapakan mo naman lakas kumain ng gasolina. yung lang nakaiinis. Ok naman yung suspension, aircon, stereo, etc. good value for money pero duda ako sa resale vaule at sa dismal gasoline consumption.
