1986 Holden Camira SL/E review from Australia and New Zealand
"One of the cheapest cars to buy and run!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Beside some occasions with hanging brake pads on the rear axle drums (just cleaning) absolute nothing went wrong.
General comments?
Bought it basiclly as a backpackers car to discover New Zealand. I decided to stay (and kept the car for another two years).
My SL/E version had the comfort of a American seventies car.
Was a very reliable buddy, but after two years it became a little bit dougie because of frequent use and rust holes.
One of the cheapest cars to buy and run I ever had! (despite of its reputation)
