		But Optra's space management doesn't stop there - it continues under the hood with the 119 hp 2.0L dual overhead cam 4-cylinder engine that's transversely mounted, permitting a more compact engine compartment.
		It's part of the available RS Special Edition Package on Optra 5-Door that also includes the brash styling of 15" aluminum wheels and a rear spoiler, as well as a premium 8-speaker sound system, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, plus steering wheel-mounted audio controls.

		The Optra is available in 1600cc Base and LS form and 1800cc LT form which offers top of the range conveniences including leather seats, ABS brakes, an adjustable steering column, air conditioning and airbags, among other features.

		But she and her colleagues in the Chevrolet division of the new General Motors SA are not looking at huge numbers for the Optra.
		Chevrolet marketing manager Arthur Boyle said one of the main reasons why the Optra was not launched alongside the other models in the Chevrolet range late last year was that its engine had to be specially conditioned for our local fuels and operating conditions.
		From the conception of the Optra, there was a strong focus on the safety aspects of the design, especially as the vehicle was to be sold in Europe and North America and therefore had to adhere to the regions’ very strict safety requirements.

		The Optra interior is roomy alright, but is a classic case of lost opportunity as far as pure design goes.
		As we told you before, the Optra is capable of launching the speedo over 185 kph and that again puts it in the same league as its competition.
		The Optra monocoque is stiff and well sorted and that helps matter when it comes to offering ride quality beyond the realms of cars in its class.

		The Optra also managed a respectable four star rating (out of a possible five) in European crash test ratings, which suggests there is substance as well as a modicum of style.
		Chevrolet says the car is aimed at a buyer who wants more space than the traditional compact front-drive sedans, though in the same breath it says it is gunning for a share of the Corolla's segment.
		But the Optra's main shortcoming is the suspension, which gives the car a fidgety ride, so that it fast becomes tiring to drive, and in which to travel.

	Chevrolet Optra 1.6 First Drive - Business Standard Motoring (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		In the C+ segment, the Toyota Corolla and Chevrolet Optra 1.8 were launched early on, and now an Optra 1.6 has joined the battle.
		While the bigger Chevrolet, the Optra 1.8, goes head-to-head against cars like the Corolla and the Skoda Octavia, the smaller-engined Optra 1.6 is pitted directly against the new Honda City, which is its most likely competitor.
		Compared with the City, the Optra 1.6 is significantly bigger (dimensions are, of course, same as the 1.8's), has much more cabin space, feels plusher, is considerably more powerful, and also competes very well on price.

		It is also the model that Chevrolet is set to use in the World Touring Car Championship this year, as Chevrolet goes racing again.

	Review on Chevrolet Optra by crkp - MouthShut.com
		The optra is most certainly one of the best looking cars in india today.
		The optra was a logical upgrade for us from the Baleno because it offered more space,more power,is better finished,has better looks and more solidly built.
		So it had to be the Optra for us and it did not disappoint.

		Compared to the Optra, the fully-loaded variant of the City is under-powered, has a smaller engine and is actually smaller in size as well.
		The Chevrolet Optra is powered by a 1.8-litre DOHC engine that delivers 115ps of power, while the Honda City Vtec comes with a 1.5-litre engine that can generate 100 bhp of horsepower.
		The Optra also beats the Corolla and the Octavia on the price front but on other counts the Corolla and the Octavia are comparable to the Optra.

		Noteworthy too is the Optra's standard 5 year/100,000 kilometre powertrain warranty as well as the standard 3 yr/60,000 kilometre full warranty.
		I was impressed with the Optra's attractive, well-finished interior, particularly the classy instrument cluster and the metal-look trim on the dash.
		The Optra's weakest point may be its 119 horsepower engine which is a tad underpowered, and a bit noisy under acceleration.

		That said, however, the car in question is very much a Chevrolet, but one from Europe, called the Lacetti or Nubira depending upon which part of the Western world you’re in.
		Of course, racing cars need to slow down at times and this is achieved by a combination of front and rear brakes — 4-pot machined aluminium callipers operating on a 295 x 32 vented steel disc with air cooling in front and 2-pot machined aluminium callipers operating on 290mm steel discs at the rear.

		The Optra is what the new generation Daewoo Nubira would have been had General Motors not taken over Korea's Daewoo Motor Corporation and re-badged its cars in South Africa as Chevrolets.
		The Optra covers ground with notable smoothness, competently dampening all but the worst bumps and road scars but the suspension creaks over speed humps and the shocks seemingly don't have much travel as it takes little for them to hit their bump stops.
		The Optra's panel fit and paint finish is good and there were no rattles in our test car but the body seemed to lack the torsional rigidity of some of its European and Japanese rivals.
