2001 Holden Astra 2 door city 1.8 from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Disappointing
Faults:
Consistent vibration in the floor, passenger and drivers sides.
Vibration in the steering column above 1500rpm even after front wheels had been balanced.
Vibration in the pedals and foot rest.
The dealer realigned the chassis and gearbox, and checked the exhaust system, with little improvement.
General Comments:
I have ridden in three Astras that have vibrated, two where the top of the range. And a dealer told me he had one in the back of the workshop that was worse than mine.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

As the owner of a 330Ci, you should be aware that the Astra is not just half the price - its also half the class, half the performance, half the engineering, half the handling, half the quality, and half not being seen leaving the country club driving it! It does look great, though.
