I just want to say, I have a 2007 Optra with 98000 km. I bought it 3 years ago with 23000 km.
I admit there are some problems with this vehicle, but I'm a mechanic and it kind of really bugs me how much people rag on this car.
Your brakes wear so fast cause you ride them so hard all the time...
Tie rod ends and stab links, because you don't care how many potholes you hit or what speed you hit them at.
Serpentine belt, and bulbs. Oh well, normal maintenance items. Ideally your belt should be replaced every 80000km.
My Optra is at 98000. I just replaced the original brakes front and rear this past February. Both original tie rods are still good, and replaced both front original stab links in Feb as well.
A lot of stuff people complain about with this car are the driver's fault.
