Hi,
If planing to use for long term and with much easy of maintenance then Maruti Suzuki Alto would be ideal selection.There is huge difference in maintenance of Alto and Optra.

Go for alto k10... Its like a pocket rocket... Very economical to run and maintain too...

Both cars come under different Segment. Optra is Sedan while Alto is Hatchback. With Optra you will get that extra boot space as well as more passenger leg space. However, it would be still be a second hand car with no warranty and service perks. With Optra you will get high maintenance costs as well. Like others, i suggest you to go for Alto K10. It will be a new car and you wont face any issues if you use and drive it well for atleast 5 years. Yes, you will feel cramped up a bit, but, if you drive in city then that space issue wont matter with its highly controlled and efficient steering abilities.
With Alto, you will also have the option of reselling it after 2-3 years and buying a better segment car if you have budget then and bet you wont be disappointed with the resale value of this car.
With Maruti, you get good and caring after sales service and you wont feel any kind of harassment with respect to parts as well. So with your budget, Alto K10 is the ideal option. I have it too.. :)

Like already said, both are entirely different segments. Optra if in good condition is quite reliable, much safer(as compared to Alto and many cars even in its own category) and comfortable for long drives or larger families(4 can squeeze in the rear seat). Service expense once in 6 months/every 5k kms, could vary from 6k to 12k typically at the authorized Chevy dealers. AC is effective, comfort for driver, space for storage within the cabin and the boot are some of the major advantages. Worth trying.

Mr Shiva has put it very nicely. I had an Optra Purchased for 3.5 Spent 50000 within two months and sold for 220000. Not only that the Car is very nice and comfortable and very smooth it gives roughly 4 to 5 kmpl which is great. Once you buy the car you will be given royal treatment by The company service even for a single washer the car has to be taken to them.
The staff at GM will treat you good until they know you are a bit stingy on spending for repairs an ordinary service with cleaning the air filter is above 7000 only.
So if you want to be pampered GM is the place they actually treat you like a king. Only a king can afford to feed white elephants.

buy a brand new cycle, cos there is no maitanance and you dont need to put fuel in tge age where petrol prices have gone sky up. my suggestion will be hero cycle, atlas cycle cos both comes with natural ac easy to park in city and above all you are the whole horse power available..

If u buy a new optra also its not worth for u...now u knows the corrupted Indian government is increasing the petrol price day by day and we cannot move even..Optra will give u less mileage and maintenance is very high...if are luking for luks and comfort u can go for optra if mileage and maintenance dnt bother u
