i test driven optra 1.6 base. *Let me tell you. Its a Very Good Car.

Currently i own Honda City 1.3 and i found optra 1.6's pickup much better then my 1.3 city. Ofcourse its 1.6 engine. *The interiors are good and the wooden panel finish gives very robust impression. Yes the music system is not the best but i think dude buying 7.5-8 lakhs car can spend some money on decent music system.

Regarding breaks, while on test drive on 80kmph i pushed the break paddles and it was very effective. *I don't know weather disk breaks would be better or not but on this speed the breaks was very effective hence i don't feel any problem with breaks. Regarding light bulbs can be upgraded. Overall i found this car to be value for money and its backed by 2 years or 20k km service holiday (consumables like air filter and oil change + labor is free).

Check out for dealer and finance discounts. i am waiting for sale of my Honda city and i will book my optra next day i get token for my car.

edit: i found foot rest not much confirmable. Actually it was annoying for me because my foot size is 10 and i wear large shoes. I will get it removed if i bought this car.

ALSO, do you know if we can return the company system to dealer and get some discount?. Some other member in other post have mentioned that he got 5k from dealer while returning the system. i will also do that because the companies dash cd changer is costing around 18k which is way tooo much. for this price i can buy pioneer double panel display mp3 player (15k).
