1999 Holden Barina SB City review from Australia and New Zealand
"A wicked and zippy little European Hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
General comments?
The car is heaps of fun to drive, the zippy engine purrs easily at 140 kilometers per hour. It's great to drive around the town in, and has decent looks compared to boring Korean or Japanese makes.
