The Chevrolet Lacetti saloon is perhaps the least desirable bodystyle in the model range, lacking the practicality of the hatchback or estate version. Not many buyers like small saloons, especially ones without a recognised badge, and Chevrolet doesn't cut it for most people. However, it does compete with other budget saloons like the , and undercuts or offers better specification than mainstream rivals. However, the Lacetti - which has latterly only been available with a 1.8-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox - has limited appeal.

Reliability

The mechanicals are fairly robust and shouldn't give much cause for concern as long as the servicing schedule has been adhered to. There aren't much in the way of sophisticated electronics, which means few worries on electrical glitches too.
