2004 Chevrolet Optra review from North America
"Don't bother with it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dealers will not touch the car and it is a lease!
General comments?
The car has been good in the fact that it has never broken down.
The fact that the heater pushes out warm air (never hot) in the winter and the A/C is so weak it never cools the car in the summer, I can't wait for the lease to be done.
I tried to have the dealer look at it, but I couldnt even find a dealer that would change a bulb since it is covered under the warranty I find that strange. Apparently since it is a DAEWOO no one wants anything to do with it. The gas mileage is very poor and it is slow slow slow. I took a chance on a chevy since my wife`s family always buys them, but I am going back to Honda!
Oh and a good piece of info regarding the car is the resale value is nothing... according to the blue book they are only worth around 6grand, the buy out on the lease (if I even would) is 14 grand. WOW!
