1985 Holden Gemini review from Australia and New Zealand
"Brilliant, always reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got the car for someone who wrecked it. Fixed up the radiator and front corner panels.
Hit a dog a week later and bent the corner panels again as well as the bumper.
Alternator died at 180000km cost 120 dollars to fix.
Engine is slowly getting worse, but hasn't died on me yet.
General comments?
Fantastic little car. Not very powerful, but handles fantastic. The sort of car you will always remember. The interior is good for a +20year old car if you get the cloth seats. nothing tacky inside. nice looking on the outside. There are very few manly look 1.6lt cars out there.
