2002 Holden Cruze review from Australia and New Zealand
"Love the Cruze, but worried about its reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hard to get into reverse and rough through the gears (selector) at approx 15500 klm's.
Had a replacement gearbox at 18000 klms.
Needed a new steering rack at 19000 klm's.
New gearbox is developing the same fault as before at 31500 klm's.
Clicking noise detected (like bad universal joint). Having it checked out now.
Hard on the first set of tyres!!!
General comments?
Nice car to drive.
All faults have been fixed under warranty (3 year 100,000 klm's).
Worried a little as same faults are re-appearing.
