2000 Holden Astra CD review from Australia and New Zealand
"Overall a great medium sized car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is an annoying noise from the steering wheel column that mysteriously disappears.
The break pads are horrible, leaving a dusty residue over the wheels after a single use.
A little slow off the mark.
Fan belt during idling is also annoying.
General comments?
Feels very very solid, except for the squeak from the steering wheel column.
Engine is quite punchy after 3000rpm and even punchier after 5000rpm.
