2005 Holden Astra AH review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap to run, but a waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had an oil leak 6 months after buying it.
Front tyres have been replaced; they were wearing on the inside like they're not sitting right.
Dead spot when put into second gear.
General comments?
Yeah, the car's OK, but I can't wait to sell it; everything on it is so expensive to fix.
A new pair of wipers; you can't just go down to the car shop and buy some. $91.40 for a pair of blades, which is ridiculous.
It runs good, and it gets me from A to B, but I now wish I'd saved my money.
