Chevrolet Lacetti SX. Reviews
The main advantage of this car is its spacious interior, which has enough space for both passengers and cargo. Also, many owners note the high reliability of this machine. Most drivers experience breakdowns when the car’s mileage exceeds 100,000 km. Otherwise, only scheduled examinations. The car is well-controlled, clearly slows down even on slippery surfaces.
However, there are a number of disadvantages. Almost all owners without exception note the insufficient insulation of the Chevrolet Lacetti. There are also many complaints about the low ground clearance - the car catches bumpers with curbs, strikes the bottom on large bumps, even on the asphalt road. At the same time, the suspension of this model is quite stiff, all the bumps and potholes along the way are felt by the driver. Owners of cars with manual transmission complain of long strokes when switching. And owners of cars with automatic transmission are unhappy with the high fuel consumption, which can reach 15 liters with fast driving in the city.
However, cars use oil very economically. Chevrolet Lazetti starts up in cold weather, even when the temperature on the thermometer drops to -30. Some note that with a long ride, the back gets tired, because the seats are not ergonomic enough and lack lateral support. Despite the fact that cars rarely break down, owners have to spend money on expensive maintenance. The paintwork also leaves much to be desired - after a couple of tens of thousands of kilometers the surface of the car is covered with small scratches.
