american car cya kasi so matibay ang kaha ika nga compared sa asia car.
fuel efficiency is di ganun ka ganda ika nga... pero may mga way para makatipid sa gas. like pa update mo yung computer box nya para sa efficiency nya,
alagaan ng maayos ang langis at tubig tune-up PMS
parts is di na ganun kahirap hanapin although di cya nabibili sa mga auto supply sa kanto lang ika nga.
pero mahal pa parts ng honda.

pero sa comfort eh yun ang optra panalo.
sa aircon plus sya sa nissan totoo yan.
hatak at lakas nya ok.
pero consider mo rin yung mga maintenance. like change oil. di cya pwede pag ordinary lang, dapat atleast semi syn.
gas is mas mataas sang kunsumo nya sa iba. like isaid comfort ang maganda sa kanya.
body is ok, makina tahimik,all power, maganda ang loob, laks ng ilaw, ok ang sound system, push button ang trunk.

cons..
sakit overheat,malaks sa gas, medyo mahal ang parts,

pros...
ganda ng ride, ok ang interior design, ok ang mga sound set-up nya, magara,
for 2005 model sa 210k san kapa. amoy bago parin diba.

since na ngayon ka palang titingin. you can contact us kung gusto mo ng opinion namin or kami mismo tumingin ng optra na binibenta. since we are specialized sa optra nakita na namin yung mga sakit nya at alam di namin price nya...

still its your firts car naman so enjoy..

Buy Japan brand na lang(Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi and etc).. its better since this will be your first car... Baka sumakit lang ulo ninyo...

[mikehunter1980]

its better to bring someone knows about pros, and cons,
kahit na ano pang oto yan basta ok ang price at ok ang makina and everything tapos mabebenta mo sa next 2yrs nya sa same amount ng binili mo, investment parin yun..

chevy optra is not really an american car but rather a kimchee car made in korea wanna be chevrolet. it was made by what used to be daewoo car company who went belly up because of very poor quality in materials and worksmanship. in the u.s., these cars are no longer sold because of a couple of deficiencies. even parts are hard to find there. the information system for repairs, service bulletins, specifications, wiring diagrams, parts catalog can not even be found on alldata information system (dvd format repair manuals). as per experience, i would not work on this car for the same labor rate (maybe triple the charge). you are better off purchasing japanese, american or european car

Wala akong bad experience sa Optra ko before pero ako na nagsasabi huwag mo na ituloy yan.

Duon rin sa Optra ko. At 57k kilometers, binenta ko without it giving me a headache.

RFS : Expensive to maintain.

That's it. Pero looks-wise and comfort-wise? Panalo.

The Optra has pretty generous features for its price, good handling and braking performance is known to be pretty top notch for its time, but it is thirsty with just so-so performance, parts are expensive and hard to procure, and its no American car. This is a Pininfarina designed, rebadged Daewoo like many of GM's small cars. If you're looking on buying the Optra, you might as well get a Korean car that is Korean by name and by blood so that the purchase price is lower and parts are cheaper and easy to find.

^ Na-drive mo na yung Optra?

[renzo_d10]

I beg to disagree on some points as I have a first-hand experience on an Optra.

Yes.

but it is thirsty with just so-so performance,

Thirsty, yes. So-so performance, not really. The acceleration might be restricted as the body is naturally heavy but the top-end power is just fantastic.

If you're looking on buying the Optra, you might as well get a Korean car that is Korean by name and by blood so that the purchase price is lower and parts are cheaper and easy to find.

Come on, can you name a Korean car that's WORTH BUYING for 210k?
