    Holden Astra: Does it have the same automatic gearbox as the Holden Cruze?

    Holden Holden Advice Holden Astra Holden Astra Advice Holden Astra 2017

    I’m interested in buying the new Holden Astra Sportwagon. It has a six-speed auto as standard and I’m concerned that this unit is related to the auto fitted to the Cruze model that proved extremely unreliable and disastrous for buyers.

    The transmission in the Astra is a conventional torque convertor unit, the one that gave the trouble in the Cruze was dual-clutch manual/auto, a different ’box altogether.
