2007 Chevrolet Optra Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2007 Chevrolet Optra find it to be a reliable and comfortable compact car that offers decent performance. Many appreciate the spacious interior, good fuel efficiency, and strong acceleration, especially due to its low-end torque. However, some drivers express dissatisfaction with aspects like the handling, braking feel, and interior quality, noting that while it is a practical choice, it lacks excitement and sophistication."
its amazing!!! i own the hatchback version of this car , the looks are absolutely amazing , so is the interiors , the pickup,the performance. the build quality is quite good , the doors shut with a solid thunk , the a.c. is amazing , and the fuel efficiency is quite good , its is the best in its class , undoubtedly!!!
September 13, 2008What i like: Comfort class is what i will say first. Chevy Optra has the best in class seat comfort for both front and rear passenger. Ride comfort is good for bad Indian roads. Super acceleration.... thanks to the phenomenal low end torque. Good NVH pack. You will hardly notice you are driving a diesel motor. What i dont like: Poos stick shift quality. Doesnt inspire confidence in the handling aspect. The instrument panel is touch old. The audio unit doesnt gel with the interior. Overall: Good value for money.
August 3, 2008acceleraion is reasonable, and i shows great responsiveness when shifting gears down, but its maximum cargo is so low. braking is great, and the brake pedal is high, might be somehow annoying to new drivers, bu you'll ge used to it. hand brake is sof and has almost no sound, and holds the car good. seat position is high, which might give you false impression about the road, and the suspension is so soft. he car is stable at high speeds, but the cabin noise starts to be high beginning from 110 km/h. driving while having windows opened is also annoying as air gets ino the cabin from low speeds beginning from 60 km/h. the steering wheel is responsive, sharp, and gives you adequate sensation to the road. seats are comfy and have medium support, and the cabin is large, it can have 5 adults in great comfort. the sound system is fair, but the speakers are less than predicted, and the controls are reachable for the driver and the passenger, and are easy to use. the DOHC engine in all its sizes shows geat responsiveness, but somehow lacks torque, and the fuel consumption when the rpm are kept less than 3000rpm is very good, but higher the consumption goes on rapidly. the stability is great, and the car gives you false impression about its speed. the styling is accepted, but the car would have looked better if it was wider. boot space is accepted and larger than many of its rivals, but the loading tip is somehow a bit high. plastics used in the interior are of medium quality. head lights cover a wide range of the road. front and rear bumbers can withstand small and medium hits with no malformation or breaks.

January 25, 2008the chevy optra is a wtcc winner of 2006 that makes it a winner of hearts. being born a deawoo nubira, it lifts up the ghosts of deawoos past. GM did a good job but it could use more power and variants. the near perfect weight distribution makes a meal of the handling. good steering feel n response. the spongy brakes needs little work and am sure GM will rectify this in up-coming models. all in all a good, reliable car to own. needs a facelift as soon as possible.
October 29, 2008Excellent Car. Its been 3 years that i own this car in Dubai & it has never let me down despite the fact that it was even submerged in water in 2008 as After two days kept un touched, the engine started after two tries.Today i have a battery down.. but then its ok.im still happy with this car and would reccomend to all looking out for a mid size sedan. excellent fuel efficiency.
March 9, 2010Simply a normal car, Impressive Performance, simple looking, Interior Build Quality is abit too cheap and feels cheap too, but somehow it holds up really well, it did not felt clunky or wearing out at all. the handling is somehow abit of a down side becuase it tends to understeer in tight turns when you come in with speed, the gear position feels nice, rear legroom imprssive overall, a nice and simple normal seadan car.
July 27, 2010Good enough for a compact "convenience" car. Exceeded my expectations on engine torque and road handling. Huge fuel tank. Spacious and comfortable. Brakes are safe but umprecise. Ultraconservative design. Overall, this car is fairly good, but definetely booooooooring.
January 15, 2008Its a good car, it could be much better with wider tires, the stability would improve alot with better tires...But still its a very good car, very good acceleration but the brakes could be better also...Overall it is a good car,,
