2006 Chevrolet Optra GT review from North America
"Do not buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For a small, supposedly efficient car, it uses far more gas than advertised. It should get 11 litres/100 km and it uses 14 (in the city) with very little improvement on the highway. It has 4 cylinders and the gas usage is equivalent to an SUV.
General comments?
Has had 2 recalls already and have had to have the entire steering rack replaced (this was the 2nd repair to the steering)
