2002 Holden Astra City review from Australia and New Zealand
"The best medium car around"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as I have only done 450 Kilometres.
General comments?
I would recommend this car to anyone, it is a smooth car to drive and handles well round corners.
I have not had any noises or rattles coming from inside the car.
I have a 1.8L engine and it's more than enough power for me.
I have not had any trouble with the throttle at all as I have heard that you have to get used to the throttle.
I have used Optimax petrol in my car since day 1 and the mileage is great, I have done nearly 300 Kilometres and only used 1/4 of a tank of petrol.
There is also plenty of room in the car and the size of the boot is great as it is only 5 litres smaller than the boot in a Commodore!
