1988 Holden Barina ML review from Australia and New Zealand
"A fast car the words"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faded Paint on roof.
Blown Head Gasket at 290,000 Kilometres.
Drivers seat worn badly.
General comments?
Very fast car and fuel efficient at the same time. Good off road handling. A good modification if you can is to get the dashboard out of a GTi (It is black with better gauges etc) or if possible even the whole motor.
