2005 Holden Barina XC review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fun. Fast. Cheap. Reliable. Awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only had the vehicle for a little over a month, and so far it has run flawlessly. No problems as of yet.
General comments?
The economy is outstanding. It does about 600km to a tank (44L - 39L usable). For a small engine it really pushes out some nice grunt.
The new twin-port makes a great difference in power, as it draws more power in lower revs.
If run on Premium, however, as I do, the power goes up substantially, as does the economy again.
The new design for the front looks great and Interior rocks.
