Chevrolet Lacetti Hatchback (05-11) - Review

Review by David Ross on
Last Updated: 14 April 2009
The exotic sounding Lacetti looks fairly attractive - that's mainly due to the input of the famous styling house Italdesign. It's a budget-priced medium-sized hatchback that's main attraction is generous equipment levels and low prices. But it's dull to drive - albeit comfortable on the motorway - and lacks the refinement of similarly priced alternatives like the Kia Ceed. The engines aren't particularly good, either in terms of performance or economy, while the interior looks dated and feels cheap.

Buying used

The fixed price servicing deal is transferable to subsequent buyers, so if the car is less than three years old (and has done less than 30,000 miles) it could save you money on maintenance. The wonders of depreciation mean that there's a good saving to be had buying used.

Selling

The Lacetti is not a well known car, but the hatchback is perhaps the most recognisable of the three bodystyles. If your car has any pre-paid servicing deal left to run, it's worth using this as a selling point.
