2004 Chevrolet Optra LT review from Malaysia
"Solidly built for those who think of safety for the family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The auto transmission jerks sometimes when swifting from N to D. Wind coming through the driver side window when the car is traveling above 110KM.
Only one remote control key. Spare key is without remote control. Even my old Citroen's spare key come with remote control.
General comments?
Fuel consumption higher than what it was stated in the brochure. Currently I am getting about 7km to a liter compared to 10km to a liter stated in the brochure.
Handling is perfect, ride is comfortable. Very stable when travelling above 120KM/hr. Lots of leg and luggage space.
Very good audio system (Blaupunk) with 6 speakers.
