2002 Holden Barina XC EQUIPE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cute, but unreliable.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine problems at 64,000km.
Oil leak at 65,000.
General comments?
The appearance of the car really appealed to me and it is a pleasure to drive.
However, given that I have had to spend over $1000 to repair the vehicle after having it less than a year and having driven it less than 10,000 kms... i would say this car is a 'NO GO.'
Additionally, this car was purchased from Holden with a 3-year warranty and RACV check... NOT HAPPY!!!
