1995 Holden Barina SB review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very unhappy with reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear CV joint broke and wheel seized at 150,000km.
Radiator obtained a hole and started overheating at 160,000km.
Black bumper bars have major discolorations and are almost gray.
Petrol and temperature gage on dash malfunctioning ever since I bought the car.
General comments?
This car has not much get up and go and from my own personal experience has been nothing but problems. The inside of the car is very tidy and comfortable but under the bonnet has been nothing but trouble for me.
