Go pick up the latest edition of wheels Magazine, the Current Barina wins the "LIGHT: Under $14,500" Class ahead of Toyota Echo and Hyundai Getz.
here is what they said:
The only euro-babe in a segment traditionally dominated by japanese and Korean temptations, the Barina proves that cream rises to the top in bargin basement just as surely as everywhere else. Although the XC Barina is nearing the end of its reign, with a replacement on the horizon, and although its lone Gold Star Cars top ranking is in the driving Dynamics department, the Barina still shines as the most convincing package in the under $14,500 segment. And Why wouldnt it? This is, after all, the model that beat the likes of the BMW Compact, Mercedes C-Class and the original Toyota Prius to claim our 2001 Car Of The Year title. Holden has, however, dropped the Barina's specifications to keep the price low, meaning no more anti-whiplash headrests, rear disc brakes or optional ABS. Now as then, though, Barina owes its winning ways to its impressive combination of value, economy, willing performance, a generously roomy cabin and impressive driveability.
WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go Beep beep!!!
