2005 Chevrolet Optra Review
ProsQuality. Handling and braking. ConsAcceleration.

Surprising Quality For An Unknown Car. — Not really a Chevy, it's built by Daewoo in Korea. Had the car for three years and no problems except a battery (left dead in the showroom for too long) and the CD player. While the acceleration is poor, the handling and braking are amazing thanks to all wheel disc brakes and fully independent suspension. It's roomy in spite of its small exterior dimensions (I am 6' 2", 200lbs) and has good ergonomics |

A Fun To Drive Car With Safety At The Top — This car is way better in performance as compared to Honda & Toyota . Safe and reliable . The one thing I love about Chevy's .... Optimum Safety .... Exterior is very classy and interior is sophisticated . If modified , this car has the capability to be a pretty good sports car . I LOVE MY OPTRA Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Take Care Of It. — Good Acceleration, Poor Braking, Good Handling It needs alot of repair, specially if you dont take care of it. Appearance is good on th eoutside, but needs iprovement from the inside. High cost of gas mileage and maintenance. It is fun to drive :) Primary Use: Family transportation |

2005 Chevrolet Optra 1.6l (automatic) — For a 1.6 liter of a car, it was a gas guzzler. Power-to-weight ratio was leaning more on ride stability than fuel economy. Handling was okay although acceleration needed more pushing. Styling looks more conservative, quite sedate for younger people. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

ProsComfortable, reliable, attractive looks. 5 speed manual transmission works great! ConsRight rear brake caliper siezed at 130,000 kms. I find fuel economy good! Interior quality could be better. Love this car owned since new 7 yrs. Always had a slow coolent leak on outside engine block. Poured some coolent stop leak in last yr no more problem.

Best Car I've Ever Owned, Very Practicle Has 180,000 Kms Now Even Pulls My Utility Trailor Fine. — I like the practicallity, the reliability still have the original battery in car from new. Breaks lasted to 130,000 kms. Cheap maintenance cost. In my opinion its one of the most under rated cars out there,. I'm looking for another one when this one finally dies. Regarding its power output, I removed the stock air box and installed a K&N style air filter. Simple mod added 5 hp and made it noticeably more responsive as well as decreased rpm at idle. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

This Is The Best Little Wagon I Have Ever Driven — Had my 05/optra wagon for 1 yr. now and still love it. Not the best on gas, but the best little wagon out there. Looks great, handles great, goes o.k. Need more power?...You need more brains!!! No wagon is truley a sports car and should never be reviewed like one. Oh yah, sure it had more torque, but my mothers old boat 77 plymouth wagon only had 77 horsepower. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

2005 Chevy Optra5 — we've had the car now fo ronly a few days but we love it! lots of room on the inside. fully loaded. still getting the feel of the car but its something that we need. carseats fit nicely in the back power sunroof, ps, pw, pdl, hold option for starting from a standstill to moving uphill. this pic shows a little body kit that really looks good, not overdone. that and ours is green and has better aluminum rims. great car. |
