Dun like daewoo.

was seriously considering first optra then optra 5 myself before my dad plummed for altis. it looks real classy. my dad was saying chevvy trying to break into the market, if they’re not successful may take flight so safer not to get. and the parts all assembled from all over the world, so don’t know if it’s all that reliable.

optra is the better car of chevy in Singapore. I like the look and feel when test-driving the original optra. It can be compared to altis and in the real sense, both cars are from thailand, so no difference in the brand.

for chevrolet, i advise you to watch for the best offer price and freebies as it differs every few weeks.

aveo cuter. haha. i noe this is irrelevant. but price wise optra not tt cheap right? can choose lancer, vios or sunny

PaulQ SG

the cheapest Optra has gone down is 60K or 59,988 . Now Optra has increased to the same price as Lancer (61K) due to seasonal purchase. Vios has gone down to 57,688 and it has included a spoiler and being marketed as the 2005 version.

If you are eyeing Optra, it is a good buy. But you may like to wait for the new Optra5 to affect the price of Optra in a few months' time.

If you are eyeing Lancer, it is also a good buy considering the freebies given now. But you should not forget about the new Colt Plus to be launched soon.

If you are eyeing Vios, it is a good buy if you don't mind a smaller rear passenger space and no freebies.

hmmm lancer got wad freebies?

the advertisement called it "Mitsubishi Festive Fiesta"

Free 1st year insurance, free 2 months instalment, free 3 upgrades (see their website for more details)

better to check with them for any strings attached eg. compulsory percentage of loan or compulsory percentage of downpayment etc.

From my last visit there, the free 3 upgrade is applicable only ig you loan 80% from their designated banker. And yes, the 3 upgrade thing is provided by that bank too.

The advice given that time I was there by the SE is I can choose to upgrade the car using their deluxe package at S$2000. Then one of the 3 upgrade is 50% off the deluxe package. So you will be paying only S$1000 for that package. That package includes leather, rims, skirtings, bumper.

However my bro suggested getting the sport edition, then forgoing the 3 upgrade. By forgoing the 3 upgrade, the dealer will actually refund you S$3000 in cash after you purchase your car. So now you are only paying S$2000 more for the sport edition. But why you may ask? Just for info, the sport edition's leather, rims, bumper, skirtings are of higher grade than the deluxe package's. Plus there is the spoiler.

Go down to their showroom for more updated info. Also their SE quite nice. Twisted Evil
