Depends on the one you looking at la.

If you lucky you get a good condition one. Be very careful when buying second hand units.

At least the Optra has better throttle response.

Hi

This is my first post at this forum.. smile.gif

I got a Holden Viva in australia which is the same as the optra base model, cause Holden in Aus decided to scrap any extra features for this car except for alloys & ABS to make it a cheap car.

With my Viva I want to put fog lights on it. I've bought the OEM fitting fog lamps but i was wondering if anybody know if the Chevy Optra or Daewoo Lacetti models without fog light, know if the factory defualt wiring still exist in the base model. I've had a look at my car and in the engine fuse box, there's still a spot for the front fog light relay and fuse to go but with no fuse or relay in it, also I had a look to see if there is a a cable with a plug to plug the fog light in but I cant seem to see one.

So what Im asking is:
Does the factory wiring for the fog lights still exist in the base models with out the fog lights.
And if so where can you find the cable with the plug to plug them in.

Possible to add on with minimal fuss smile.gif

Hi guys. Just want to get your opinion from master here. I just started working, and looking to find a 2nd hand car, which is reliable, not too fuzzy, average FC and obviously low price. So, chevy optra is one of my option. I just went through the thread here, just want to know if anybody know where can I get reliable maintenance and spare part in Perak? I live in Lumut. And how do you feel driving this car? Is it satisfactory? Thanks.

Depending on how you look at it, the Optra's maintenance is pretty high if compared to the other cars in its range. Also, parts availability is going to be a pain. I would advise against getting a used Optra especially if you dont know the history behind the car. FC is just about average, but that was with a 1.6, not sure how would the 1.8 be.
