hi there, chevy optra, well da car performance i can tell u is very good, very stable good cornering they come with blaupunkt ICE too. BUT, since its 1.8 and the car so small, their FC ( Fuel Comsumption ) is very high. Im pleased to received question from u

Well I guess thats the common problem for with US car, small car with big CC and there go FC How's the cornering of the car? Stable? I have not really try one.

But the concept of their car being big CC with poor handling (cornering) is common in US as their road is really straight. Specially those inter-state highways, really straight and boring. However, this is normally apply to those FR car. I supposed Chevrolet Optra 1.8 is a FF car right?

not bad..but the price will go down by year end..they plan to use more local parts driving the price down. so u can wait for local parts=cheaper or buy now..more expensive=better parts

My SIL has bought the car already. Overall no complain yet.

for ur info, yes optra is a FF and about spare parts what i can tell is , local spare parts mostly dun have a good durablility if lookin for a better one i suggest u may get it from thai. so far i neva heard any friend of mine sayin that car havin problem except for the FC problem. cuz one of them always drive 180 to 200. still everything is cool. for now, i see chevy magnum looks very very nice, attractive one

haha chevy is a american car, which is a REJECTED stock i can tell u. u may ask any american do they go for that car or not.
