O Astra The old one was still on sale here, and both would be discontinued almost at the same time, at the end of 2011. For less than R$ 36 thousand, you can currently buy a top-of-the-line 2008 Chevrolet car, equipped with digital air conditioning, rain sensor, electrically folding mirrors and GPS.
Just don't expect much from the consumption. In its test, the hatchback registered 5,6 km/l in the city, with ethanol, and 8,7 km/l on the highway. The Chevrolet Vectra GT was launched in Brazil in September 2007, already as a 2008 model. There were two versions: the GT and the top-of-the-line GT-X, and despite the name, they only had a sporty style.
The 2.0 flex engine with 128/121 hp (the same as the Astra and Zafira) was standard for both, as well as dual airbags, digital air conditioning, alarm, electric trio, lamps that imitate xenon (Blue Vision) and portable GPS.
The GT-X version also gained brakes, CD player with MP3 and steering wheel control, 17-inch wheels, shark fin antenna, rain sensor, on-board computer, cruise control and electrically retractable rear-view mirrors.
What to look for when buying a Chevrolet car
When buying, be careful with leather-covered steering wheels and seats that appear to be original from the factory. To recognize the original in the Chevrolet Vectra GT, one of the clues is the absence of the logo engraved on the backrest. If it has the brand, know that it is not original. There are also several reports of noises generated by looseness in the steering box pin. To solve this once and for all, the only way to solve it is to replace the entire assembly.
A chronic problem is the key getting stuck inside the ignition cylinder. If it is under warranty, the best solution is to replace the cylinder. The clutch is a common defect even in vehicles with less than 10 km, and it usually presents vibrations and even wear on the disc and plate, in which case it must be replaced. Therefore, test the clutch before purchasing.
The electrical system of a Chevrolet car may have problems that cause the windows to open by themselves. According to GM technicians, it is necessary to replace the actuator, which costs less than R$150. An electrical problem in the Multi Timer module may cause the headlights to turn on involuntarily, draining the battery.
The voice of the owner of a Chevrolet Vectra GT-X
According to Wilson Romano Calil Filho, 28 years old, doctor, São Paulo (SP), his automatic GT-X is great. Comfortable, powerful, stable and has an exemplary gearbox. He considers it the most beautiful in its category and in its price range.
The only thing that is regrettable is the chronic vibration of the alternator pulley of automatic transmissions, when the gearbox is in position D or R (only with the air conditioning on). For now, Chevrolet has not commented on a solution.
Raphael Curvo, a geneticist from Rio de Janeiro (RJ), says that Chevrolet's car is sensational in terms of engine and comfort. And the design is a 10. It also has several technologies, such as Bluetooth and a rain sensor, among others.
The original factory Vectra GT NEVER does 15,5 km/L. In fact, the article doesn't even talk about it.
