1997 Holden Astra GL review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermitent stalling.
General comments?
The car is comfy and economical, but the bad reliability spoils it, the dealers arn't very helpful, it beats me, why a manufacturer can build a car that even it's own service centres can't solve a problem let alone fix, this is a definate let down for Opel, even the web sites of Holden, Vauxhall, and Opel have very little information about the recommended specifications for fuel type etc on their vehicles, not everyone buys a car new and has the owners manual.
