1987 Holden Barina GTi review from Australia and New Zealand
"Quickest 1.3 I've ever driven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong, but it has started to blow a little blue smoke.
General comments?
Goes really fast for a 1.3 litre. Faster than my old MK1 MR2. Puts most 1.6 Hatchbacks to shame ie. Civic SI.
