2002 Holden Astra TS 5 door hatch review from Australia and New Zealand
"Value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I found that at 60,000 K's, my service will cost me between $750 - $800. This seems a bit expensive and I was wondering if others owners have had this problem. I was told the timing belt needs to be changed. Would this be worth $600.
Also have a lot of road noise.
No head rests on back seats.
Always hot inside car.
General comments?
Beautiful car to drive. Handles beautifully.
Great on fuel consumption.
