    According to testing and word from new owners, it's much better than before.

    But if you're really concerned about fuel consumption, better get an MT car. Wagon version, preferably.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    kamusta na optra nabili mo? alam mo agree ako kay carlo.com, may problema nga talaga sa aircon ng optra, SOBRANG LAMIG talaga lalo na nun tinangal/na-disabled ko iyun heater sa aircon... pansin ko wala siya automatic climate control... kaya mano mano pag patay sindi ng aircon ginagawa ko...

    saan kaya pwede magpakabit ng climate control para sa optra?

    with regard to fuel consumption, kung gusto makatipid eh hinay hinay lang sa pag tapak sa accelerator... at magpakabit ng autolpg para hataw lang ng hataw, since mura lang ang halaga ng lpg compared to unleaded petrol...

    i work for chevrolet and so far ok naman yung aircon ng optra. i've tested all the units ng chevy and ok naman silang lahat except sa 1.2 aveo. sa gas naman depende pa din yun sa driving habits mo.

    Hi Everyone,

    I signed up just now coz i know i'll get good feedback from you. Anyway, I have an Optra 1.6 LS '03 with 21Tkms mileage. yesterday, it won't start and according to Chevy may problem na daw yun motor ng fuel pump ko.

    It's too early to break down and I thought to myself is this car lemon. Kasi no one can explain why it happens early eh almost 5Tkms/year lang ako. city driving lang talaga.

    I hope someone here can explain kung naka experience na rin kayo ng fuel pump problem.

    Thanks and i'll be happy to join the chevy club.

    minsan wala yan sa mileage..pag luma breakdown talaga...4yrs na optra mo pero dapat wala pa sira...usually lampas 5yrs bago labas mga problema.

    pero labo ata iclaim mo na lemon since 4yrs na yan

    Hi recently bought an optra 1.6 LS a/t 2nd hand 2003 year model. ok naman siya. parang brand new. just got out of preventive maintenance and full-detailing when we bought it. shouldered ng seller so ok. and we know somebody sa chev so meron mag-aalaga aside from us.

    any things to consider about being an optra chev owner?

    thanks
