We bought this car for our father and we absolutely love the car. We bought a black one, it looks stylish and elegant. We love the insideroom, the quietness inside, powerful AC, decent mileage(10-11 in city, 12 or so on highways).
We have three years free complete service package from Chevy, so we have not yet paid for any services/maintenance. We have another year and half of that left too.
As with most big cities, Bangalore too is getting very congested and my father is finding it difficult to manage this big car on Bangalore roads(he is over 65, so that is another factor). He loves to drive, so keeping a driver is not an option, hence we are looking for a smaller car for him, and sadly might need to sell this.
If anyone is interested in an excellent condition, sparingly used, brilliantly maintained 2006 Black Optra 1.6L LS, please email me here.
I would strongly recommend an Optra to anyone who might be in the market for a new or used car, but if you are buying it for an elderly father or parent, they might be better off with a smaller car, perhaps a Santro or something like that in bustling city traffic.
Thanks & Good Luck!
