    DRIVING:

    Just bought an Optra Magnum LT, and I am in love with the car. Actually the car is the reason of all the fights in the house know as everybody wants to be in this car...

    It all started few months back when I was looking for a luxury diesel sedan with performance for me, As it was my Marriage occasion so the car must be good so that I can cherish my new Innings of life along with the new car....The cars I shortlisted was Laura Ambiente, Optra Diesel and Hyundai Verna (Haven't chose the Octavia bcoz of its cabin space and comfort). I know all of these cars are from different segment but only these are the performance diesels in the market today...

    Know to narrowing it down to Optra...

    Laura was to big for the city driving and even at the price of 14.5 no leather seats and basic luxury features and above all the power was also less compared to Optra....

    Verna at 9 Lacs + doesn't showed to me as a sensible choice as even at this price it was missing all the basic frills. though the engine performance is fantastic the car still lacks the luxury feels. even on to standards of my Honda city which is 1.5 Lacs cheaper. purely a car for only performance ...

    Know my beloved Optra. It was love at first sight. The moment I saw the LT version of the car fallen in love with the luxury of it. The car is big the cabin is nice you get a goood luxury car feel but the story started the moment I turned the keys down right and the engine started. so smooth. putted the first gear and pushed the accelerator the car moved as if the rocket has been launched. The handling, the breaking, the overall feel of the car is supreme. just after the drive of only few Kms, I asked the person from showroom to book one Sparkling diamond LT for me...

    Know after driving the car for more than 2 months, I feel that the car is excellent on the highways. I drove it mostly on the highways. ran it even at the speed of 190 the car was still very stable (though me and my wife was not, courtesy Indian roads). The only problem I faced in the car is that. It has some alignment problems. Got it rectified once but the prob popped up once again. other than that it is a fantastic product...

    At the end I would zeroed it down....If some is looking for a rocking performance with luxury without robbing your banks .

    GO FOR OPTRA DIESEL....

     

    Performance, Power, Value for money, best diesel in the class, Ooomph factor....front doesn't part with the rear looks of the car
