Chevrolet Lacetti SX. Reviews

The main advantage of this car is a spacious interior, in which there is enough space for both passengers and cargo. Also, many owners note the high reliability of this machine. Most drivers face breakdowns when the car's mileage exceeds 100,000 km. In the rest - only scheduled inspections. The machine is well controlled, clearly brakes even on slippery surfaces.

However, there are a number of disadvantages. Almost without exception, the owners note the insufficient noise insulation Chevrolet Lachetti. There are also a lot of complaints about low ground clearance - the car catches the bumper curbs, blows the bottom on large irregularities even on the asphalt road. In this case, the suspension of this model is quite stiff, all the bumps and potholes on the way are felt by the driver. Owners of cars with manual transmission complain of long moves when switching. And the owners of cars with automatic transmissions are dissatisfied with the high fuel consumption, which can reach 15 liters with fast driving in the city.

However, the car consumes oil very economically. Chevrolet Lacetti gets into trouble without problems, even when the temperature on the thermometer drops to -30. Some note that with a long ride, the back gets tired, since the seats are not ergonomically enough and lack side support. Despite the fact that the machines break down rarely, owners have to spend money on expensive maintenance. Leaving much to be desired and paint and varnish - after a couple of tens of thousands of kilometers, the surface of the car is covered with small scratches.
