Option in Chevy Optra

General Motors has been bent to the fact that it locally, this time around following setbacks in recent times. And it shows the rapid expansion of the new Chevys in order to spark some much-needed buzz.

When the Captiva SUV was introduced at the end of 2007, it was a part, has been charged Optra and the Aveo to make their appearances last month.

World No. 2 the automotive company that has found its second wind, in which case the developments, the Chevrolet brand in Malaysia as they are catchy new mantra - "Chevrolution."

Waiting for more 3S service centres and the cheaper and more readily available spare parts, it says.

Rebuilding the brand will take time, and we just have to wait and see what the distributor of HICOM-Chevrolet results of the implementation of The General's order.

Take the latest Optra. It comes sedan and wagon forms. While the sedan is available in two engine options (1.6-litre and 1.8-litre) and the three countries, trim, the wagon is limited to a displacement below the mill, which has two grades to choose from.


We were in the queue for the top-of-the-range Optra Magnum 1.8L LT SS sedan.

In Sapphire Black and dressed in full sports bodykit, the Optra Magnum from Thailand certainly looks fetching.

As many have pointed out, the front end is a spitting image, the Optra5. Alloy wheels, 16-inch they will serve the project urheilullisuus and a solid display. But the 17-inchers would be better to trim killed in the state of the wheel arches, and make the car look more cohesive, the metal.

There's always the secondary market route to improve the aesthetics.

Almond-shaped headlights with the multi-reflectors; chromed grille; reworked bumpers, chrome body side moldings and door handles, and folding the wing mirrors with the signalling the ability to talk, the Optra's contemporary design.

The three corners of the boot lid are decked out with words and letters point out the car key characteristics, and therefore have to look busy. We play by the stylist that "VGiS" and "SS" has been dropped altogether on the grounds that "less is more."

Boot space is not great, but sufficient, and flipping back seats forward will make more storage room.

Comfort, the silence and some semblance of prestige would be fine, thank you very much. This family's Chevrolet car deals to the list of the head with a major success.

Leather seats are wide and supportive. The two-tone kojetaulu and wood trim will increase to appeal, the cottage, which seems bigger than the one under its beige colour theme.

Control panel is ergonomically laid out with large legible gauges, which have a metal.

Soft touchpoints are a central feature of expensive cars. The Optra emulates that in less than rock hard dashtop and leather padding across the upper side of the doors.

Children and the Asian average-sized adults, there is little to complain about when sitting at the back. Headroom has been found wanting, tallish passengers unless they slouch.

The front passenger has the advantage, underseat tank that can be his own little secret hiding place for things that should remain private.

For a rebadged car, which is actually Korean, the Optra's suspension tuning may require having the Euro-are aware of it.

Bodyroll is a very controlled and the ride has been supplemented by more than the majority of roads.

Noise dampeners, installed in the car throughout the body, which makes the Optra cottage in a quiet shell to a large extent. This is in addition to measures designed to minimise the engine vibration and, using a single belt, to drive the alternator and noise reduction compressor.

And then it is a Yokohama S306's turn to be measured.

Moderately high level of performance of the tyre provides a lot of feeling and predictable grip, but is not as quiet as it should be. It is roughly hewn, on the road, where the crushed stones to stick out of the hardened tar, such as sore thumbs, the tyres to produce quite a ruckus as if trying to detract your attention from the Leona Lewis' sultry vocals-that the CD you are playing.

Due highways, the noise level, fortunately, fades into the background.

All-round disc brakes mean a good stopping power for as long as you step in the whole of the journey down, which seems spongy pedal travel. Luistonesto does not guarantee the slip-ups, slippery situations.

The Optra, such as the Aveo, should be VGiS or variable geometry intake system that essentially boosts the throttle response, and increases in all its Driveability.

Acceleration is smooth and linear, such as E-Tec III engine doles up to 121bhp at 5800rpm and 160Nm at 4000rpm. Euro III-compliant engines are not stirring, but its performance is respectable, however. Hydraulic strengthen the system to check the engine vibrations are doing their work well, because the engine noise is muted in normal pace.

When everyone knows a good-Vibes, which is derived from a brand, which is to get back on its feet, not later than Optra represents a package that is attractive and well worth serious consideration as the medium family car.
