2000 Holden Astra City review from Australia and New Zealand
"A high quality, zippy, gorgeous, fun car to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had a rattling drivers side door, which was fixed at my first service... it was apparently a faulty locking mechanism.
Very very squeaky brakes which haven't been repaired because they are MEANT to do it according to service guys.
A few rattles but nothing really that bad.
General comments?
This car is incredibly beautiful.
I find it very enjoyable to drive, it's smooth, powerful and ultimately... stylish!
If you're looking for a car that's reliable, solid looking/feeling, this is for you.
The only problem I have with it is that its brakes are squeaky. You can get rid of the squeak if you wash the brake dust out of the wheels every day, but who can be bothered?
