Hopefully Chevrolet Malaysia will bring in the RS and turbo version.

You can solve the engine vibration by changing the engine mounting, less than RM400.

There are few problems with my Aveo. It’s not the best car out there but I think it’s good car overall. There are few workshops that can fix the problems

Chevrolet has one the worst resale value I can think of. A 2002 aveo is valued appprox below rm7 k , worst than a 1991 sunny

GM spent more R&D effort and money on this one.

I suspect the distributor will target the Sonic deep into the new Almera’s pricing (maybe even lower). In the US, the Sonic’s been off to a good start (well traditional fleet sales have helped). There were some quality guffaws (chief of which was when the factory forgot to install brake pads on a batch). But overall, folks who’ve bought one seem to like them. Pricing is neck to neck with the USDM Nissan Versa.

Hopefully when the hedgehog collides with the dugong, the hedgehog won’t drop all his collected ‘rings’ hehehe…

P.S: It’s a reference to Sonic The Hedgehog if you haven’t got a clue.

Form the Video, you can see the driver shoulder sticking towards the front passenger side.
it’s a hot small car, since it’s small car, wouldnt be expensive. RM65k maximum.

This little baby who is much smaller, yet 1.4, and a similar dashboard. I believe the full specs auto version wont go above RM72k.
Good bet price range is: RM63k to RM72k!
Head on collision with PReve price range!

From how NAZA Cheverolet pricing done on CRUZE, C-Segment. which is 2.0L yet relatively cheaper than Slyphy 2.0L.
We may expect it within the range of Almera or even lower. Latest Aveo price range is within RM70k to RM80k.

Spare parts have to wait 2 months+.. and most mechanic don’t dare to do the repair work for me. Luckily after 3 year I owned the car, Chevrolet come in to Kuching.. To my suprise, they DO NOT HAVE ANY SPARE PARTS for Optra. Only those very basic parts.. Chevrolet my arse! Selling at 25k took me like 1 year, it still sleeping in my car porch. Engine vibration is worst than my old wira. Every morning, when engage to R gear, the engine will goes dead, so must wait engine to warm up before you can reverse the car..

Price wise I believe it’s more expensive then Nissan Almera. At the mean time, I’ve very upset with UMW behavior that upgrade the car only when the sales turn bad. It’s publicly known that in M’sia, Toyota is milking his long establishing brand on sales. The new generations will study more on technology & other options unlike elder generation, and won buy Toyota base on their past performance. Another very irritating fact is, Toyota is matured in technology but keep it in the sleeve awaiting to be release only when competition come. It sounds logic in economy but save that on saying they’re customer-centric in publicity. You’re not.

The size of the car seems relatively big compared to that reviewer.
