1999 Holden Astra TS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Pleasing to the eye"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Squeaky brakes from the start.
30,000 Km, replace front and rear brake pads.
60,000 Km, service just completed, front and rear brake pads replaced again, front rotor disc replaced, rear rotor disc re-machined.
General comments?
Very good off the mark.
Handles well in all conditions.
Holden told me that the rotor discs will probably need replacing at the 120,000Km service, VERY BIG EXPENSE.
