1993 Holden Berlina VR review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fast, loads of room, Widely supported model, cheap parts through Holden wreckers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission required rebuilding at 235,000K's $2000.
Differential is slipping at 246,000K's.
Coil pack required replacing at 240,000k's $400.
Power windows in back haven't worked since purchase.
General comments?
The Berlina has ABS & IRS installed so it handles really well.
Climate control, power windows and trip computer are nice added extras.
Once beyond the "to be expected" repairs that had to be completed this car is an awesome second car.
