I would recommend the 1.8 over the 1.6 anytime. Sure that higher cc means more power, but look at what you get in return. Twin airbags opposed to the single airbag you get in the 1.6. A better transmission (ZF) in the 1.8 than the 1.6. The list goes on. Or, you can also go for the Optra Magnum sedan. I somehow prefer the looks of the Optra Magnum than the older model. But come to think of it, the pregrillelift is the ugliest one.

Im totally new to this car so helps are much much appreciated here. Im planning to get my dad a car, either Hyundai Elantra or Chevrolet Optra since my budget is around 25k-35k. Was searching around and gotta know theres few variants are available in market. Abit confusing with LS. LT and Magnum version?? Can someone explains on this? Thanks!! Besides, which one is better between 1.6 and 1.8? Was told 1.6 parts are easier to find due to 1.8cc parts are more complicated, hence higher maintainance costs in 1.8?? Also, some experiences about maintainance costs are much appreciated too. Thanks in advance and appreciates the times u spent to reply me here. Take care What year is the car?

QUOTE The hold light and check engine light mean that the vehicle computer has sensed a problem with the transmission. This can be related to a sensor, slippage, or one of the electronic control devices that operate the transmission. You will need to scan the system and then perform the listed diagnosis for whichever code or codes have been set. You can have the system scanned at many auto parts stores. The code should stay in the computer for at least 50 starts even if it only sets intermittently. Read more: GMC Questions - GMC Chevrolet Optra 1.8LS I drive a Chevy Optra 2007.
