The Optra is quite spacious when it comes to interiors. You can sleep and snuggle up inside the Optra. The Linea is also spacious when it comes to interiors. Features offered in the Optra are more than the Linea. This is where you might feel the pinch.
Handling and feel
The Americans are no where near the Italians when it comes to flexibility. The Linea is far better than the Optra when it comes to handling at high speeds. You can maneuver the car with your tiny finger which shouts attitude. Such type of handling is not present in the Optra.
Engine and feel
You might want to buckle up inside the Optra, the 1.6 liter engine is no match to the Italians. The Optra achieves a top whack of 175kmph with ease. The engine of Optra is quite rev free and easy to drive. There are chances where you will be a 10 year old again to be in the seats of Optra.
Time to go to the ATM
If you need speed and the best remote control car the Optra is the best option. The Linea on the other side is a serious car which might not help in fantasizing your dreams.
