I noticed that this car is relatively popular, so i decided to make this little discussion area happen. Alright. The Optra has many many different faces. It can be the Lacetti,Nubira, Viva (!) in other markets. You guys can ask for suggestion, tips and many more from here. The car is designed my Pininfarina, has Lotus tunes suspension. The 1.8 model has several features the 1.6 doesn't have, like fog-lamps
, audio controller on steering column and seat-side pockets.

for discussions la. like spare parts, recommendations and the likes..

about the leather seats, if got cracks can fix or not?

the optra5 looks nice. rims like curi from the optra 1.8

about the claimed lotus tuned suspension,is it really asd great as the proton one or better?

oh yeah..how many gears does the optra 1.6 a has? after the D is wad?

thanks. may i know the estimated price of the foglights? for the 1.6 as it does not come with it

I don't think so. Somehow prices for wanted models are still quite high, even for second hand cars. But how will the same apply to the Optra?

I drive one quite often, just lemme know what info you want.

The car is the 2005 model. First batch, the one with the ugly grille.

Performance, I would not say that this car is performance oriented.

On the one I'm driving, I would need to press the accelerator a tad bit more than a Waja to kick the gear down.

As for FC, well, the Waja has slightly better FC that the Optra..

And depending on your family size, I daresay that the Optra is quite comfortable.

btw, mine is the 1.6, not the 1.8

You can try to ask jeremy0, i believe he is driving one.

but since the Optra sedan and Optra Estate is almost the same car, I can write a review, if you want.

Erm, the one i'm driving is already 4 years old.

Gearbox so far so good.

Wiring, no prob.

Although engine's vibration kinda high, suspect could be due to engine mounting.

What problem?

Anyone who revs their car hard?

I did above 4500rpm to 6000rpm, getting weird noises from the engine. Not knocking, more like whooshing sound.

@ jeremy0 : now that Naza has taken over the Chevy sales in Malaysia, what about our aftersales service?

Thing is, car is in KL at the moment.
