I always had a liking for the Optra ever since it was launched.

Got my Optra 1.6 NY edition in the month of March 2005. Picked up the one in mystic satin(kind of purple). Have not seen another optra in that colour apart from mine. Its a lovely color. 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. The other cars considered were the corolla,octavia and the elantra. The elanra was out straight away due to its looks, its one ugly duck. The Corolla and the Octavia though very good cars did not appeal to me as much as the Optra. Besides i have always been a big fan of GM cars in india especially the Astra(my uncle had one). So it had to be the Optra for us and it did not disappoint. The 1.6 LS was perfect for us considering the features and besides the NY edition also comes with Beige interiors. And whats more it retails within Rs10lacs here in blore.

Coming to the car itself, i feel it is better looking than the corolla and the octi and is as well built. The engine is very quite and so are the interiors. The interiors are well finished, with a very effective a/c and a brilliant music system. I added an mp3 player to the existing configuration. Its 4.5 meters long, so it is obvious its very spacious in the front as well as the back.Suspension is brilliant and the engine is pretty powerfull for a 1.6.

Below Rs 10lacs no other car in india is as spacious,as well built,as powerfull as this one.
