CRAP!
Chevrolet Optra

i dont know about g8 concert but i did donate $100 for the tsunami relief. There is a big difference between City and Optra. If you wish to see more black smoke in your town- buy an Optra! If you want to see clean air- buy a City. But no!!! we dont want fresh air! We love Black soot and dus...t - so we buy Optra! After all its good value for money right? who cares about the pollution!Read More

The Dream Team
Twenty Best Cars

'Pros : They are beautiful' Review is based on asthetic character of the cars, not mechanical. For example- WRX comes with AWD (and Evo)and boxer engine - no mention of that or NSX comes with Mid Engine - no comment on that. No mention of 50/50 weight distribution in BMW. These are the thing...s that make these cars good. Althrough they are all very good cars in general , there are some major problems with every single car. People should also be aware of that too and not blindly believe they are the greatest cars just because they saw some cool picture on a magazine or on TV. They are good cars...but Why are they good? Maybe you have not driven all of these cars - and that is fine because most people in the world have not driven all these cars either. Review should go as- 'Best Sports Cars'and not as 'Best Cars'. I remember when I was in 3rd grade and we use to talk about how cool that car is just because we saw a cool ad on TV. This is exactly this review sounds like. Read More

sanjcher: If you cannot spell or type correctly or construct a basic sentence properly then you should not even sit infront of the computer, let alone dream about flame war with me. LOL fool is comparing an economy sedan with some classic sports car. 15 years ago you didnt even know what an a...irbag was when you were driving Maruti800s like cockroaches. I am a law abiding citizen and I follow the speed limit. People like you should be deported back to where you came from - follow the rules of the country! People cannot drive fast anywhere they want - alright? The speed limit in India is very less compared to other countries. Its quiet common to get minor bumper-dumper in the conjestion of India and you dont want airbags to blow up on your face all the time- because it will cost you more than the resale value of the car just to renew the airbag. Finally you get what you pay for. If you want an airbag you pay more. Cars like GM/Ford are designed to break- they believe that inorder to keep the Parts industry in business, a car must break.Read More

Chevrolet Tavera

couldnt have said it better alex_esmie American companies do not care about the environment of India. They dont care if we get cancer. All they care about is making Profit and send all money back to USA!

CRAP!
Chevrolet Optra

You see, I dont need a car whose arm and leg was made in different parts of the world. That is a cost saving measure but creates reliablity problems because the components were not originally and primarily designed for that specific car. I need a car that was entirely designed by single team. I ...dont think Indian market need Airbags yet. Your speed limit is so low. Simply Having airbags doesnt mean it will save your life. A head-on collision with a truck will kill you anyway no matter what car you are in. Honda will not add airbags in City because Indian road speeds are slow. I Hope this is easy to understand. In other countries it is normal to drive 150kmph, in India it is not - therefore you dont need airbags. Instead Honda has better crumple zone body that can absorb the impact. Tell your govt to make better wider highways first. People are buying lots of cars, but there is not enough roads to drive. I am not stoping you form buying anything. Its your money not mine. Believe it or not Ford/GM are in dark ages compared to Honda/Toyota.Read More

To sanjcher: This car is an auto-rikshaw on 4 wheels. Yes America makes crappy cars, its a fact. It does not make me racist. I am talking about about the company not the country or people. Looks like you are scared of truth. -------------------- To smartcat: I havnt purchased Optra, but i ...have had many experiences with other GM products in general. Buying a Chevrolet will be a big risk for me, and i cannot take that risk. My review is intended against GM products in general. oh...and Honda's VTEC engines rule! ----------- To rohitthebest: Thats the problem with some consumers. They believe that if a car looks good from outside it maybe me good mechanically also. ----------- To mitul_mehta: You dont sound like warm at all. I am not stopping you from buying anything. You can buy 10 Optras if you like. Its your choice! You can jump off the bridge, do i care? As a consumer, it is my right to speak up against a brand if i dont like it. I am a consumer and I am the one who decides what to buy or not. Therefore there is nothing wrong with expressing your opinions. The BRAND does not control me. I control the BRAND. In your case it is the opposite. Thank You. ------------- To nannybiker: They say India was richest great country 1000 years ago, but who cares now? http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/Insurance/P63955.asp ------------- Top cars of 2004- http://money.cnn.com/news/specials/bestcars/ (mind you-this is for american market and does not apply to Indian market, but you will get the idea who sells more cars in the world) --------- Cars with worst Residual value- http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/list/top10/103628/article.html Mostly GM and Ford cars, not one Japanese car! -------- Top Fuel efficient cars of 2005- www.edmunds.com/reviews/list/top10/103325/article.html Once again Honda/Toyota on top spot!
