I test drove most cars in this segment and found the suspension of the Optra Royale to be excellent for the Indian roads. As for the leather seats, I would have preferred to see a bit of cushioning inside...sometimes I feel a fabric seat is more comfortable especially when u take into account the heat. The Ac though its really superb, does not help with the seat base or back...and u do tend to sweat as ur body is stuck with the leather! I guess this is common with most leather seat cars here.
As for the audio, I wonder why no tweaters were provided and the factory fitted MP3 system is no comparison to the Bosch system in 1.8 AT.
I would NOT recommend this car for 2-wheeler cities with tiny roads like Pune ....as it will severely limit its capabilities....if its highway miles you are seeking, then this is the car for you.

    I agree with the comments above. But I have a 1.8LT fully loaded and I dont find a problem with the leather seats with A/C on. The A/c is fantastic. The vehicle performance is superb and unlike what the people who dont own this Beauty keep cribbing the Ownership Cost is negligible. INfact the costs on Corolla and Skoda are much higher making the Optra a dream to own. I recommend it to any buyer in its class or even the class above. Simply a Master Piece from Pininfarina!

    When I bought Optra 1.8LT in Nov 2005, I was little unwilling as there were many options like Civic, Octavia, Elantra etc. However, a test ride on Optra was enough to till my opinion into its favor. 1.8 l Holden engine, Sunroof, Blaupunkt 5-CD Changer with 6 speaker, All leather, Keyless entry, flat dashboard, stereo remote and wooden finish just added to its appeal. I do not have any problem with A/C even in May (44 degree C) and the car goes on smooth. I am getting 10.5-11 Km/l in Delhi.
