Yes, both Chevrolet (Lacetti, Captiva, Cruze, Equinox) and Opel (Corsa, Astra, Vectra, Insignia etc) products sold as Holden have traditionally been seen as poor quality in Australia by "most pundits". The Captiva, Cruze and Astra have particularly negative reputations...
[ In Australia, Toyota and Lexus are considered by many as being of the best quality, with other Japanese brands on the next tier typically (Mazda is unusually popular in Australia, although most people know by now that Mazda diesels are total junk). ]
The local Commodore is not much better (the V6 has a whole list of common problems, primarily timing chain stretch), albeit it is forgiven for the V8 engine option.
