How reliable are Chevrolet Lacettis?

How reliable are Chevrolet Lacettis? Or Kalos, or just Chevrolets in general please? Torn between those and a Nissan Almera/Mitsubishi Lancer, but want the most reliable. All advice welcomed. Thanks

Hi Patrick,

Generally Chevriolet Lacettis (and Chevrolets in general) are pretty solidly built, but they're a long, long way from being the most inspiring car around. Essentially, they're cheap, cheerless but solid transport, just as they were when they were still badged as Daewoos.

As for choosing between an Almera and a Lancer, we'd go for the Almera simply because it has a (slightly) nicer interior and is (slightly) nicer to drive.

Hope that helps
