Holden Astra – Comparing an old one with the latest version
Road test of a Holden Astra in Australia. David Brown talks to Errol Smith. Errol has a 12 year old Astra. Getting into the new one was like getting into a fully renovated home. Everything was new but the rooms were still all in the same place. 41 buttons and 4 knobs on the dash board.

David Brown
David Brown started his working life as a Civil Engineer but you would not want him to design a bridge you wanted to safely walk over. His passion was in traffic engineering and transport planning which is all about how we use our transport systems not how we build them. He soon became involved in commenting on issues through all avenues of the media. He is now a motoring and transport journalist. He test drives a new car each week but his ultimate measure of how good a car is relies on his 12 year old and the Hayden Brown “Will you drive me to school in that car” factor.
