Good day.
I will immediately say, the car dad, but sometimes I go to Chevrolet myself. I will compare from KIA spectrum (I ride it myself, here, by the way, my feedback on it), because There was no pleasure on other foreign cars, and the Russian cars do not take into account, because Even the most advanced brainchild of the Volga Automobile Play - Prior, to Chevrolet is still far ...
In general, after the sale of the father's dozen, the question arose that to buy. Budget 400-430 thousand. The selection criteria are not a very large volume of the engine, up to hundreds of horsepower, new, necessarily sedan, light color, reliable, preferably a large interior, does not have a lot of importance. Trainings in the Kirov Motor Show, watched Höndai Accent, Chevrolet Lanos, Chevrolet Aveo Sedan and Chevrolet Lacetti Sedan. At first they seriously wanted to buy accent, but did not like the design either inside or outside. The same with Lanos, although the design is more interesting. Then I looked at Chevrolet Lacetti, I liked, decided to buy it.
Gathered to buy somewhere in early October 2007. We arrived at the car dealership, the price for the time of the simplest configuration with the least powerful engine was 395 thousand .. The manager said it would have to wait from four to eight weeks. Called and visited every week. When more than two months passed, they called - the manager said that the machine would be only after the new year, which is expected to increase prices for ten percent, and the cars are kept in Moscow. To the question, how not to overpay, answered: Make the whole amount immediately. After catching that forty thousand, I don't really want to overpay, completely paid the whole amount per car. The call rang a week after the new year - take! We arrived - inspected carefully for damage, chips and dents (you know, we can insert anything), everything is normal. Then the car was taken to pre-sale preparation. Immediately bought alarm, mudguards, carpet in the trunk. Front fenders and rubber mats in the cabin stood in the database. We wanted to buy the rear sings - it was not available. She cost us somewhere in 415 thousand.
So, the car Chevrolet lacetti, sedan, color beige metallic, engine 1.4, 16 valves, 95 hp, hand-made, front electric windows, heated electric power, tape recorder without mp3, four speakers, GUR, ABS, two airbags And all modern amenities. Spare wheel - Single. Sold us a car on summer tires. Immediately bought a hip with cast discs - approximately 30 thousand.
After dozens, this is something! In the cabin silence, the engine on medium revolutions is almost not heard. Noise isolation is laid on the hood and lid of the trunk, a trifle, and nice. Very good pebbles in the back, I think will cure the installation of the subsidence. Although noise insulation for the budget foreign car is quite decent, I have a lot of worse spectrum. In the cabin, nothing creaks and does not rattle, although the mileage is only 4600.
The stove is very good, but the car warms up, in my opinion, for a long time. The spectrum warms up faster. In terms of noise, the stove works approximately as on the spectrum, well, it can slightly hide. In the first mode, it almost sacrifically works, on the second it is already pogromed, and on the third and the fourth is generally loud. But in Kirov, frost is not Siberian at all, so in addition to the first mode, sometimes I turn on the maximum of the second, I have enough.
The salon is large enough, I am 180 cm. 110 kg. And the dad is about the same complex - do not feel inconvenience. Salon is greater than on the spectrum. The elevator of the driver's seat is provided, which contributes to the adjustment of the seating for itself, and not vice versa. I have an elevator on the spectrum, unfortunately no. Sometimes I drive a rear passenger, where I feel quite freely. The review is good, a little interfere with the front wide racks, but it is quickly getting used to it.
Full-time speakers are more than enough. If you need to listen to the music and others, the installation of a better speaker system with a subwoofer and an amplifier is the case required. Personally, I have enough of what is. It sadness that the radio does not read MR-3 format, like a simple radio tape recorder reading CD format and on sale, no longer, in any case I have not seen them for a long time (but I don't have an exclusive! Not anyone, and I have !!! ). I think it's just the Koreans save, buy old magnetic tape recorders in a warehouse at warehouses in a cheaper, and install this old trash to new cars. Magnitol will change in any case. You can, of course, proceed easier and buy a FM modulator, but somehow it is not serious (IMHO). It is possible to put two dynamy, the place for installation is provided.
The appearance is very different. Definitely looks more expensive than worth it. There is even a hint of a business class, although to someone like. It's nice to look at it and beyond. Large trunk. By the way, for whom it is important, on the sedan the trunk is more than on the hatchback.
Brakes are good, even very. Press up a slightly slightly on the pedal, and the car stops. ABS on Chevrolet I like more than at Kia, does not work as sharply, and does not keep up with a lot (the ABS system is worth a new sample). Iron is thin, not thicker and not thinner than another Korean car (even probably in Japanese).
Rear seat belts are too sharp. When I first used them, hooking the belt from the seat belt holder, I let him go, the belt began to put on the place very sharply, and I heard a decent blow to the belt lock on the rear glass. Now you have to turn your hand and control the seat of the belt by hand, and then there is also a glass of glass ... You also have to remind all the rear passengers. By the way, the front belts get much more convenient than on the spectrum, although relative to the spectrum is a matter of habit.
As for the engine, they did not expect special miracles from 1.4. For a quiet ride enough, even with a margin. That's just this stock appears after 4000 revolutions. High smooth stroke. Gasoline consumption is somewhere 8-9 liters in the city, on the lithra highway 6-7, it's all with a calm ride mode. In trouble, if anyone has such a question, I just don't know because We go calmly and do not participate in traffic lights. Now mileage 4600, I think the consumption subsequently has to decrease. By the way, about the traffic lights, in some reviews of Chevrolet (and not only in Chevrolet and not only in the reviews), some comrades claim that they quietly did on the motor 1.6, 1.4 different-caliber BMW, Toyota, Mercedes with engines from two liters and above ... They were generally aware that they were involved in races? For lovers of more serious motors there are two more - 1.6 and 1.8.
The gear ratios on the gearbox are well chosen. Large lever, you need a habit. Gets used to the day - for two. Also for the car provides an automatic transmission. On the engine 1.4 I do not remember whether there are cars on the machine, and at 1.6 and 1.8 there is definitely.
The suspension is harsh. Immediately visible, the car for Russia was released. They would make the seats then softer, and the hard suspension in the aggregate with rigid seats for me somehow not very. But this is not a lack, but rather my whim. For our long-wavy roads, such a suspension, of course, is better, just not to break the salon.
It is not clear whose car now is. Previously, Daewoo - Korea, and now - the brand American, engine and gearbox German, assembly Korea - Russia. Why Korea - Russia? Because in Korea before the customs, the engine, box, seats, wheels are removed. The car comes the constructor, respectively, payable customs duties. Then all this put in place, assign Russian wines and here is the Russian car of Korean origin with American name and German stuffing. And the assembly in Rossi does not always occur qualitatively. I, for example, the defense was poorly screwed, and one bolt was generally absent ... I also read a review somewhere, where one owner of Lacetti on the move the engine fell to defense ... Here they are the flaws of the Russian assembly, or rather the seized.
Problems. From the plant or when assembling on the left shrussa, there was a small crack (noticed when the wheels changed). We arrived at the service, thought to be replaced under warranty, and we politely declare that the warranty does not apply to rubber products! They paid for the replacement of 1,200 rubles (on the top ten, this boot cost rubles 150-200!). It was somewhere in April. In May, he began to notice that it was approaching the rubber on the left wheel, maybe after replacing the anther on a shrus, and maybe the defect was from the factory. Again to the service, make trouble-convergence. At first, too, they began to rub the warranty and does not apply to it, but when they saw the mileage - 1500 km. Made for free.
In January 2009, they made the first. Replacing oil, filters, including salon, checking the brakes. It cost somewhere in 7000 rubles.
Outcome. Of course, about great reliability to judge even early, mileage 4600 total, but I read a lot of other reviews, in which the mileage is much greater, in general, the machine is reliable, high-quality and beautiful. Of course, the breakdowns happen, but even new Toyota breaks (judging exclusively by reviews). Grieves the high cost of spare parts and so on We have a lot of such cars in a taxi in Kirov, I think it should talk about something ... This is what, in my opinion, taxi drivers are the most experienced people in terms of cars, not everything, of course, but their overwhelming majority. There is often a word about this revocation that it is also getting used to and it is quickly getting used to, I think it's a minus of budget cars, it is necessary to get used to something! On vehicles class above almost do not need anything to get used, there is almost everything is done as it should, but why almost? And because the perfect car, like any other thing, simply does not exist. Minuses exist even in Rolls Royce. Although these minuses often cause a smile, the type of radio control buttons are inconvenient on the steering wheel ... etc. For 400 thousand I am 100% satisfied with the machine. Miracles do not happen.
Thank you for attention. Good luck to all on the roads, outside of roads, well, in life, of course!
Advantages: Excellent Family Car Modest Design, but cozy, comfortable roomy, reliable when servicing.
Disadvantages: low ground clearance, it is difficult to get used to the rear-view mirrors in terms of the distance to the obstacle when moving by reverse.
Feedback:
I would like to write a lot, but I will try to be brief only for reasons of time saving for reading feedback.
Lacetti Sedan Kaliningrad Assembly was bought in July 2007 for 419000 p. Engine 1.4 liters (95 hp), manual transmission, two airbags, air conditioning, ABS, rear disc brakes, heated mirrors - in one word everything is needed, without excesses.
At first, the engine seemed weak for such a car, but about 10,000 km. I rolled out or I was just used to his features and everything fell into place.
The machine was operated every day: the first one and a half years in the main route 90 -120 km / h to 2500 km per month, the next two years are mainly the city of 40-50 km / h to 1000 km per month. In the garage did not happen - all overnight rooms under the window. For 3.5 years and 71,000 km, the mileage was the following:
Always started with an intelligence, even in the winter in minus 35, there was not a single day so that I could not leave, because the car broke down - she just did not break any times! (?! - read below)
I did not like very low road clearance -145 mm., Which after installing the protection of the Carter was 125 mm. Maybe this is not the worst option, but after each time when in the snow or dirt they hang on protection where others drove - to become offensive, the shovel, the cable and jack in the trunk must be necessarily.
The engine works quietly, in the cabin is not heard. If you do not "tear", the noise from the wheels did not cut my ear, others are not better, if you do not make extra noise insulation.
The stroke is soft, the suspension easily swallows the "washing board" of gravel and slapped roads.
On a good asphalt noise in the cabin from the wheels is not strong.
Operation without splashing for three years did not cause any damage to the body, although the anticorrosive bottom and the arches were not performed, only painted the bottom thresholds with anti-gravel from the spleen once on 2 layers. The splashes installed at 70,000 km and then more because of the appearance.
Replacing Middle Light (never turned off) approximately 10,000 km. Oil by passport, gasoline 95, car wash - in winter two, in the summer four times a month, twice a year Soap engine compartment. Replacing the oil and filters (oil, air and fuel) - everything is prescribed in the service book, the cooling fluid has not changed. The brake fluid had to be replaced by the third year of operation after the clutch was "grab" below minus 20 in the frost - until it hits the pedal with an intensive pumping (minutes 10) from the place will not be trend. The traction (racks) of the stabilizer and the bushow of the stabilizer replaced after 60000 km - began to tap the right rack. Replaced brake pads: rear after 60000 km, front after 65,000 km. The timing belt replaced at 60000 km. (It was in good condition, but it is better not to risk). Spark plugs changed three times - in order to prevent.
Many asked as surprised when I said that up to 60,000 miles did not change anything from the suspension that I drive with my native pads and not because I didn't care about everything, but because it was not necessary - everything is in good condition.
And everything would be fine, but urban riding on low revs, endless standing in traffic jams and traffic lights, bad gasoline, and maybe, the fake oil made their work and when running 62,000 km on the instrument panel, the "Check" error 300 caught fire Worse to 64,000 km on an immentable engine, the car simply refused to go, fever, trim and loss of percent power by 70, and sometimes on a good warm, but with less power loss.
Electricians are sent to the mechanics, they say, although the error is 300 - ignition pass, but not by electrical part, mechanics back, they say, the pressure is beautiful, the compression is wonderful, go to the electricians. Then there are experts who are willing to eliminate the well-known problem of these engines with a groove (or grinding) of the "legs" of valves for 12000r. To eliminate the effect of "hanging" of valves, explaining this by the fact that the valve material was incorrectly selected by the designers. Maybe this is all so there, but I did not swing or change the valve, I was confused by mileage - more than 60,000 km, everything is fine and suddenly the valve is not from that metal, began with the replacement of the oil, the use of long-term additives improve the work of the MRM. Three times added additives to the fuel, then washed the fuel system and the injector - I was afraid that after additives all the dirt from the tank will be in the injector (in vain, it was possible not to wash, everything is clean) for the last 5000 km twice washed the engine 15 Minwasters add to oil twice, Three times replaced the oil, several times made a trip to a length of up to 200 km at a high speed of 120 - 150 km / h at the 4th gear without using the fifth, in the city I tried to ride with higher engine speeds, in one word I cleaned the engine - the result on the face "Check "Ignorated everything less often, then stopped lighting up at all. The engine works clean without interruption, pulls perfectly. True I do not know for a long time?!
Finally, tired of all these procedures, uncertainty in the long and reliable operation of the engine without repairing the timing, the advice of friends and acquaintances - "sell it", I surrendered, took off the record and passed into the car dealership, especially since she should Start demand replacing other parts of the running, suspension, etc. And what to invest in repair, it is better to invest in the purchase of a new if there is an opportunity. After complete diagnostics in the cabin, confirmed that the machine is in excellent condition and only replacing the generator belt is required.
It was hard to part with huskies. Comfortable, comfortable, roomy, with excellent suspension and good brakes, a comfortable and informative wheel, a cozy salon and at all above the mines described, still a very reliable car.
The next choice after comparisons Opel Astra -n, Ford Focus, Skoda Octavia, Chevrolet Cruz and a few more fell on Hyundai Elantru, how correct it will show time, after a few days I will take away from the cabin.
Thanks to everyone who writes the reviews and helps in such a not easy choice. Good luck on the roads!

The Chevrolet Lacetti sedan officially appeared before the public in 2002 at the Seoul Motor Show (he became a replacement for Daewoo Nubira). In the European market, the sale of the car began in 2003, and he reached Russia in 2004. In 2009, a new global model of Chevrolet Cruze arrived at the change of "Lacetti", but in our country the production of the three-capacity was carried out until 2012, and at the GM-Uzbekistan plant - until 2014.
Externally sedan Chevrolet Lacetti is not bad - the car has simple and laconic forms of the body, which are not particularly outdated and to the present. "Lacetti" was created with an eye on the European market, and this in his features can be traced immediately. However, it is not entirely clear what kind of worked famous designers Atelier PinInfarina, because in the exterior of the machine absolutely no Italian sophistication and grace.
The front of the car is highlighted by a large head optics and a trapezoidal grille of the radiator, and the rear - sharp edges in the spirit of Cadillac CTS. But the silhouette of the three-volume Chevrolet Lacetti looks solid and thoroughly, largely due to the rather small body sizes, underlined by a long hood, smoothly falling to the roof stern, as well as pronounced wheel arches. Of course, such an appearance will be relevant over the years, although in the stream of cars it does not pay attention to itself.
Chevrolet Lacetti sedan has the following external body sizes: 4515 mm in length, 1725 mm wide and 1445 mm in height. The wheelbase is quite solid - 2600 mm, and the road clearance is suitable for Russian roads - 162 mm.
Inside the three-volume model has a simple, but functional layout. The Chevrolet Lacetti dashboard is no different, but readings are read well under any conditions. Prostotsky in appearance, but a sufficiently comfortable steering wheel fit into the interior of the car.
The central console is endowed with an derived ergonomics and a very attractive design, and only the necessary controls are located on it. Enable all the functions of the car are convenient due to their successful placement.
One of the advantages of the Chevrolet Lacetti sedan is a spacious interior. In front of a place with a margin, but the seats are not entirely comfortable, in particular the pillow too soft and side support is practically absent, but there are adjustments in height. The rear sofa is suitable for three adult passengers, the benefit of space is enough in width, and in height, and in the knees.
For the transport of baggage in the Arsenal of the Lacetti sedan, 405-liter cargo compartment is listed. It has a wide opening and a convenient form, which contributes to the transportation of sufficiently massive items. The back of the second row of seats is also folded (separately), create a volume of 1225 liters and space for long-term.
Specifications. Three gasoline four-cylinder "atmospheric" was installed on the Chevrolet Lacetti sedan.
The basic is a 1.4-liter unit, the potential of which is 95 horsepower and 131 Nm peak thrust, combined with "mechanics" for five gears. The dynamics of such a car is very good: 11.6 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and 175 km / h limit speed. In a mixed mode, it needs 7.2 liters of fuel for every 100 km run.
Golden middle - 1.6 liter motor generating 109 "horses" and 150 nm of torque. It is available in a tandem as MCP and a 4-range ACP. The acceleration until the first hundred from Lacetti takes 10.7-11.5 seconds, and its "maximum speed" reaches 175-187 km / h. Consumption of gasoline will not call the record - from 7.1 to 8.1 liters in the combined cycle.
Top-top - 1.8-liter "Atmospheric" with a capacity of 121 horsepower, which develops 169 Nm of the moment (it is sprayed with the same types of gearboxes as the previous engine). After 9.8-10.9 seconds, such a sedan goes to conquer the second hundred, developing a peak speed of 187-195 km / h. Depending on the transmission, the fuel consumption is 7.4-8.8 liters.
Chevrolet Lacetti sedan is built on the J200 platform with an independent suspension "in a circle" (McPherson Racks in front and multi-dimensions from behind). Each of the wheels of the three-volume model is equipped with a brake system with disk mechanisms (they are ventilated in front).
Configuration and prices. In the Russian market in 2015, the CHEVROLET LACETTI in the body of the sedan will cost at a price of 250,000 - 400,000 rubles depending on the modification, year of issue and condition.
As for the equipment, the most "empty" car has a couple of airbags, ABS, two power windows, regular "music", as well as heating and electrical drive side mirrors. Prerogatives of the top-end configuration - airbags on the side, electric windows of all doors, climate control, fog lights and the steering wheel adjustable in two directions.
