CHEVROLET OPTRA (2004-2007)
We Say...
It may have an American badge and may have been designed in Italy, but underneath, it's all Korean. Designed during a slow day at Pininfarina, the Optra is Chevy's world car. It isn't bonkers to look at or to drive. It's main advantage is value--a compact car the price of a sub-compact! Dig deep and notice the extensive spec, long warranty and tons of freebies.
Does the job rather well.
