2001 Holden Astra TS 3-door review from Australia and New Zealand
"An overrated euro"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine stalls and takes time to restart.
The dash and front doors are rattling, and is very annoying.
Revs stay up when changing gears.
General comments?
The car is okay compared to its competitors.
My previous car out performs it easily apart from that it is a comftorble small car, as long as you take your time when making gear changes.
