Used Car Review - Chevrolet Optra (2004-2009)
Car Choices:
Going for an Optra? Then we recommend going to a 1.6 with 110hp since it offers ample acceleration and it is the common engine. The other option is the 115hp 1.8 which you must skip this since there is a minimal difference between the 1.6 plus it was briefly sold that makes hunting for one not worth the time.
Made available in 2005 is the base L that has alloy wheels, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, trunk release, keyless entry, alarm system, and CD player. The 2007 update added airbags, folding rear seat, and MP3 capability. Next is the LS that gains ABS brakes, fog lamps, cooled glove box, and disc changer. LT adds leather seats (for 1.8, fabric for 1.6) and wood panels. Introduced in 2006 is the SS that has a different set of wheels, body kit, and rear spoiler.
