செவ்ரோலெ ஆப்ட்ரா மேக்னம் [2007-2012] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

I bought an optra magnum 1.6lt ABS 2 months ago. It is Great car, good value for money.the  first service is over and overall i have liked everything about this car.I would recommend this car to anyone looking to buy one in d range 8-10 lakhs.Many great things i have noticed in this car are:
1. the suspension:very good suspensions undoubtedly the best in class.

2.Electronic power steering with power assist really gives very good stability and handling in small lanes and the  highways especially.

3.Automatic climate control and 6-CD changer

4. All four wheel disk brakes, ABS with EBD with driver airbags

4. glass integrated antennas, rear window defogger and leather seats,fog lamps
good fuel economy,gr8 suspensions,Electronic power steering with powerassist,very good rear leagroomgear shifting not smooth,airbag only for driver

While in US, I was using brand new TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 model, which was an awesome deal. The same year 2007/2008 TOYOTA announced as No 1 in US beating GM as top car maker. I spend 1 months selecting TOYOTA CAMRY where I took test drive of ACURA / BMW, / Lexus, suv/convertible etc just to understand comfort vs cost & what not. One thing I understand in selecting Car is everything starts with budget & ends with budget. If I have budget of 30 lacks I won't be debating SCODA OCTY is good OPTRA is good, but I will go for Mercedes / BMW/ TOYOTA all top ends... …….If I care for fuel economy, I may go green with Toyota Prius Hybrid or any other hybrid car provided I have budget. BTW, thanks to all CARWALE feedbacks on all different car models, that helps me a lot selecting this car.

*GM India rocks *NO compromise * Value for money. *This top model is with top features for me & my family. Ride it to feel it. :) 

*Looking at the price, features & service of GM INDIA, no wonder they will soon be No 1 in INDIA/ASIA market.

*I don't want to debate on which is the best car. We hope such market competition will bring good cars in India with affordable prices. I wish you all have good budget & select best suitable car for you & for your loved ones. Drive safely. Good luck.

3 cheers GM & 3 cheers carwale.

Style, comfort, value for moneyAs on today NONE

Exterior Although not the best looking car in its class It definitely huge and a CAAAAAAARRRRR feel to it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) EXCELLENT comfortwise, the wood finish and sunroof has a classy feel to it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol Ive heard isnt as powerful as the diesel version but you have to drive it to believe it.

Ride Quality & Handling AmaaaaAZing it is stable at really high speeds giving you thye slightest feel of high speeds.

Final Words If youve got it youve been lucky If you havent, you missed your chance as its been called off the market now.

Areas of improvement Looks and fuel economy could be an area chevorlet couldve worked on as comfort and suspension wise it was indeed the best in its price tag, TEST DROCE VERNA FLUIDIC, VENTO, CITY, RAPID, BUT THE VALUE FOR MONEY CAAR WAS INDEED THE OPTRA EVEN TODAY.

We were indeed looking for a new car in the 9-10 lakh price range and the features weve got for the price tag is just amazing: SUNROOF, 1.6L engine,Caska music system, awesome suspension,the royal feel to the huge size of the car and forgetting to mention the room for legs at the rear seat for passengers is indeed ideal. The only drawback maybe the fuel efficiency but when you really need a feel of having driven something nice you should/must really go for this car.
