Optra is conceive and engineed by Japanese, german , korean and thai. Also known as Suzuki Forrenza in the US.
Never overheat before in my experience including the predecessor. Not on the 1.6 model too.

I think that might be a US make or european make for the temperate countries.. Optra and Aero, does not have that problem. because it is "Asianize". The Chevy Opel range might be a problem, because that is europe concievement.

Anyway, chevy parts are not as expensive as they used to. Cergazam has reduced the oil filter price from RM35 previously to RM20 currently. This is ori GMDat stuff and on par with Japs....
I have own a few local makes and japs b4 and currently, all I can say its a good car without much hassle. Petrol is definitely higher at about 9km/l city driving and 12km/l highway. Build is more solid than japs.....it uses high rigidity steel and for the used car price at RM40k plus, you'll get goodies like:
2 Airbags, Front and Rear Discs, ABS, EBD, TCS, Digital Climate Control, Good soundproofing, and etc

most jap and now i read it korean cars have a very misleading water temp gauge. they work partially to the middle and basically an on off switch from there onwards. most continental cars have full scale gauges. it is not logical for the water temp to be staying at the same spot all the time regardless if you have 1 or 2 fans.
thendra, what do you mean by high rigidity steel?
