    Holden Astra 2017

    Holden Astra 2017

    FROM
    $8,470

    The 2017 Holden Astra range of configurations is currently priced from $7,650.

    Our most recent review of the 2017 Holden Astra resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: The Astra sedan is a different car to the hatch – but then it's really aimed at different people, perhaps more mature ones. I mean, one of the sedan's paint colours, 'Old Blue Eyes', isn't available on the hatch. This could be a hint.

    This is what Laura Berry liked most about this particular version of the Holden Astra: Sedan's comfy and composed ride, Hatch's beautiful styling, Aussie tuning for sedan and hatch

    The 2017 Holden Astra carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1200 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Holden Astra 2017 FAQs

    Tail-light leaking in a 2017 Holden Astra?

    A leak in the tail-light lens is a remarkably common problem in a lot of vehicles. It’s even more likely if the vehicle has previously been in a crash and the tail-lights replaced by cheap imported units. You’ll spot a leak like this by condensation that will form inside the lens on a warm day.

    Your mechanic is correct, too, if water gets into the light unit, it can then make it into the boot or hatchback area. From there, it will wet the carpet or boot-liner and potentially run down inside the rear quarter panel or the area where the spare tyre lives, where it will sit and start the process of rusting the car’s metal. If there’s a musty smell when you open the hatch, then you probably have a leak and it needs to be fixed pronto.

    Why does my 2017 Holden Astra jerk when I put it in reverse?

    The jerk when you select reverse sometimes is definitely worth having diagnosed properly as it shouldn’t be that way. Scanning the car (which I’ll presume the dealership did to arrive at its answer) doesn’t always show up all faults, so just because the computer says there’s nothing wrong, doesn’t mean there isn’t. There are plenty of reasons for a car to jerk into a particular gear, but the good news is that the Astra uses a conventional, torque-converter automatic, not one of the vastly more troublesome double-clutch units.

    Your second problem, however, may not be a problem at all. In fact, the gearbox in the Astra is smart enough to know that you’re coasting down a hill and will actually shift down a gear or two to take the strain off the brakes while still maintaining your speed. As it shifts down gears, the engine revs will rise; that’s absolutely normal and part of the way the car is designed to operate.
