Holden Astra VXR

For this post I wanted to make and exception and talk about a new one on the streets instead of our most loveable classics.
As an Astra owner myself I would like to introduce you to the Holden Astra VXR the new hot hatch in the Australian market.
Some of you might remember it as the Opel Astra GTC OPC which disappeared after 2013. Now it is back on the scenes with Holden badge all over it.
The sporty hatchback has a powerful 2.0 turbo engine that produces a roaring sound and Brembo breaks fitted. However, it has two doors only and manual transmission available for this model. This might seen as a drawback for some but definitely an easy trade of for the performance and joyful sporty feeling.
