2005 Holden Astra CD Equipe review from Australia and New Zealand
"Smooth, Sexy and Generally a great package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At this stage not a thing has gone wrong with the car. Being a brand new car, I would be surprised if anything does go wrong in the first years.
The only fault I have has been covered by other posted comments, is the hardness of the seats, but they are starting to soften up.
General comments?
I have never purchased a brand new car so I had researched a couple of different options. I had spoken with a number of people, who all own Astra's, and all had glowing comments.
I went for the factory 17 inch alloys, lower body kit and tinted windows. The car certainly looks the part in Black Sapphire Du-co.
I have bookmarked the page so I can comeback as the car ages and post more comments.
Thank you
