2005 Holden Astra DX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Performs better than expected"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
Seats are a little on the hard side.
Performs exceedingly well, surprisingly well.
Great lock to lock, best front wheel drive yet.
Sits on the road really well and feels like a much
larger car from behind the wheel.
Nice heavy feel with the doors.
Returning 13k per litre, better than reported.
