Selection in 10-lakh range - Optra 1.6 vs Corolla Executive

AMITSPVERMA · 15th September 2006, 17:50

Hi,
I need to finalise a car in under 10 lakh budget ( ex- Bangalore).
Am driving a hatch and want to upgrade, so looking for an option between the Optra 1.6 base/LS and Corolla Executive. Both with great deals on prices right now, and are good enough for my social upgrade as well.
Elantra is ruled out for looks by my family.
My requirements is a big car under 10 lakhs price tag, 20 kms. of daily Banglaore city driving, self driven car, very few outings.
Do let me know what to choose.

Amit

the corolla and optra have been there quite a while now, and should be replaced soon. would suggest you to wait for a while.

however the following link should be of relevance to you:

No doubt Optra 1.6, it is a luxury Car, gotta VGIS Engine and decent service by GM! Go for it!!!
Corolla, no doubt a good Car but is overpriced!!!
