    The car feels too chirpy when revved high. Low end torque is also good as a petrol car.

    DRIVING:

    I actually thought of doing a road trial for Optra Magnum after reading reviews in carwale.

    To my surprise car did excellnetly well and I concluded that all the reviews were honest and to the point.

    Finally I decided to buy an Optra LT against Skoda. As I myself is a General Manager in an automobile MNC, you can understand how many cars I would have driven before arriving at this decision.

    With almost 99.9999% pros, my car has 1~2ppm cons. The noise during rough road conditions/bumps/potholes from below front space LH side is there since day1 and I know there is no solution to it.

    As a manufacturing guy I know limitations of fit & finish + material / alternative material being used on line to continue running of production line. I only wish GM guys can control material quality a bit for Shock absorbers and door trims.

    The fuel economy of my car is 18kmpl and considering this monster of 2000cc I can only say WOW!!

    On styling front- if they could better the cat eyes front lamps by making it more bigger, giving a bit serious look to front facia will help in positioning the car as more elegant.

    Applaude to GM for providing such marvel.   

    Amazing fuel economy, Excellent ride comfortTypical GM Daewoo product - some noises in car which can never be worked upon
