Pieces of plastic trim in the cabin fall out occasionally.
We encountered some strange noises in the engine, but they were fixed at our regular servicing.
Not the car's fault, but a bunch of kids ran a key along one side of the car, leaving a big ugly mark which we have yet to repair.
The Astra has an excellent sound system, in fact the whole interior is great. Our other car, a Daewoo Nubira, is very similar to our Astra, but it's stereo system is far worse. The Astra has big easy to read controls.
It is as roomy as our old VH Commodore, and a darn sight better looking.
It has proved to be quite reliable, and high quality.
Far more stylish than a Corolla or Pulsar of the same year.
I travelled 74,000 km's in my previous TS Astra and when sold the original brakes and tyres were still in good condition. The car was absolutely a Gem and I have bought a another new (2005) TS model.
