2001 Holden Astra 2 door city review from Australia and New Zealand
"Disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Consistent vibration in the floor, passenger and drivers sides.
Vibration in the steering column above 1500rpm even after front wheels had been balanced.
Vibration in the pedals and foot rest.
The dealer realigned the chassis and gearbox, and checked the exhaust system, with little improvement.
General comments?
I have ridden in three Astras that have vibrated, two where the top of the range. And a dealer told me he had one in the back of the workshop that was worse than mine.
