Hey everyone sorry if this is the wrong place to post but I need some info. Not looking for Holden bashing but my girlfriend is very keen on getting an astra as a first car despite whatever else has been thrown at her. Are they any good? How do they age? What are some common issues and are they cheap to fix? What years should she go for/ stay away from? She's looking 2000+ as she wants Abs as a minimum. Also fuel economy must be reasonable.
Let me know your experience with these cars, I don't want to encourage her to buy a fuel sucking breakdown machine and all the same I don't want to discourage her getting something reliable that she finds stylish. So which would he be getting if she got one? Thanks for your help everyone!
