HOLDEN is not content watching rival small cars zoom up the sales charts while its fine European-sourced AH Astra languishes, so out goes the ancient 90kW 1.8 ECOTEC number and in comes a 103kW version that promises power on par with many 2.0-litre units. And just in case that isn’t enough, a new 2.2-litre SRi model joins the Astra fraternity, giving Holden’s second-best selling nameplate an unrivalled spread of models in the hotly contested small-car segment. You will also find this engine in the new TwinTop convertible.
