Optra Magnum / Cedai Spirit - any problems (onwers)??

Thanks Prabu,

Hows your experience with the service centre (A.S.S). I would be particulary interested to know that if you are from Bangalore. What are the maintenance costs and spares replacements duration.

I realise your car would still be under warranty, but any information on the frequency of spares replacements would be helpful in pre-empting the costs one may incur beyond the warranty period.

The reason I've been so persistent in asking about ground clearance is because i have read in several forums that the oil sump is easily damaged if you go over an uneven speed bump and that it does not have a protective plate beneath it. 

But, what you've mentioned in your post makes me much more confident...12000Kms without any such problems is great to know.

I guess it all depends on how you drive.

Thanks Sourabh...hows the stock ICE in the car. Do you get any door rattling when you 'pump up the volume'  Did you ever feel the need to change it ...

How about the ACC, does it cool the cabin adequately in hotter months, (have you installed window films and do you think its actually neccesary to help it cool quicker)

Do you notice any loss of power wth a full load and ACC on?

It's great to see postive feedback all over..certainly a good sign.

i m frm jaipur and service here is very good .... i did get what ICE is ... ther is no door rattling in my car ... ac is workin fine cools within a minute or so ... service mechanic showed me that company has provided small wheels below the car which run over stones or breakers to prevent damage .... and i ve already driven 20000 kms

Audio system here.

its a alpine one and i find it good .... personally dont like to play music with huge bass ...

Wow!...small wheels below the car to run over stones/speed breakers to prevent damage? Thats cmpletely new to me. Do you have any photographs which show that...or any online reference to this stuff?...I just scoured the web and couldnt find it...

yes ive seen them myself below my car , u can go to showroom and ve a look urself ... i dont ve any photographs of em

Great! That is the first thing I'm going to do this weekend...and if I am allowed to take a few photographs, I'll post links to those here. This is amazing!

@Mods: Is there a way to upload photographs to this forum?

Post edited to remove 'quote' (same as previous; NOT required, therefore).

You can upload photos in CW Album, and give a reference/link here in the thread/post.  There from you can also insert a photo here in the post by copying the Image Location & using Insert/Edit Tool (tree/green icon - 5th from right - available here in Quick Reply).

Please note the edit remark in your post above.

Im from Tamilnadu and im satisfied by the two services undergone in my car so far i have never come across any such problems of spares replacements or any other major issues the only thing i replaced was the headlights provided which i found was not so worthy enough in night drives as i often come under situations of night driving.

yes even i ve upgraded my headlights , no other issues , n seriously i dont think people who r ownin the car ve any problems , only those who want to purchase it , get misleaded by others , i think the car is fantastic , n gives more than you expect
