2002 Holden Astra CD 5 door hatch review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My car was delivered with the Holden by Design body kit and wheels and the wheels were not balanced which made the car vibrate badly at 100Km/hr.
Hatch door lock doesn't seem to be operating correctly with the key. Will have it checked at first service.
Drivers side rear mud flap not fitted properly i. e bracket almost hits the tyre.
General comments?
Car handles surprisingly well.
Economy is very good. First full tank I got 660Km on 46 litres of premium unleaded and still improving.
Not sure yet if the drivers seat is gonna cause me back pain.
