2000 Holden Astra City, Olympic review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best small car priced this side of a BMW 318 or VW Golf"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems so far, although a knocking or rattling noise comes from one of the rear doors occasionally but that isn't a big problem.
General comments?
Fantastic car, definitely don't regret choosing an Astra over the 2000 Model Pulsar. The Astra looks and feels like a well built solid car. It is extremely quiet, smooth and is quite economical (7 - 7.5 litres per 100k's).
The Olympic model is even better, with standard alloys & fog lamps etc, although it would have been better with electric mirrors and at least front power windows.
