2000 Holden Astra CD review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very good value BMW for less money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very sluggish on take off.
Very noisy timing belt.
General comments?
Very good handling (have fitted lowered springs & 16" wheels/tyres).
Very safe at higher speeds especially in rain & windy conditions.
I have changed the brake pads as the original ones were shocking.
