1989 Holden Berlina VN review from Australia and New Zealand
"Expensive to run and not reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power mirrors stopped working the day after I bought it.
Power windows weren't working.
Upright part of seat seems to always be further back than where I put it every time I get in car.
Door seals all fell off within a week of buying car, have been re-stuck and are coming off again.
Hoses are full of a rusty residue and are blocking up.
Overheating problems lead to a new radiator being put it, and a week later it is still over heating. No idea what the problem is now.
Very heavy on fuel.
Transmission fluid always needs topping up.
Leaks oil like a sieve.
General comments?
Would never buy another one. Has pretty much put me off ever owning another holden... even though my last car was a holden. All I seem to do is have my hand in my pocket handing over money to fix everything that is going wrong with car.
