2002 Holden Astra Equipe review from Australia and New Zealand
"The Astra Equipe is tremendous value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
The Astra has been a surprise package. After coming from a 6 cylinder Falcon I am surprised its performance is little different The cruise control is brilliant. I thought with manual transmission it would die on the hills - it doesn't!
It is so much more fun to drive than the Falcon; much more economical to run and just as comfortable on a longer drive. I thoroughly recommend it!
