Anyone bought a new Barina 3 door lately?

[dug74]

From doing more research, it's starting to look like the Swift is *the* car of the moment in this segment.

Same price as a Barina 5 door but with more gear loaded in - ABS brakes for me are the big one.

Yes the swift is an exciting car. IMO go the base model as you pay $2000 more for the *Z* series and only get side airbags, 15" alloys and front fog lights. The base model has everything the *Z* series has except those mention ..base has 15" hubbies but same tyres. With the money you save you can get many factory options incl fog lights or buy a nice set of 18's and a racing stripe package

Before ppl ask.....yes you can fit 18's under the new swift as i have 215/35 R18 on 18X8 rims on my new swift. It aint insurance legal but it looks great

Yeah, if we get one it would be the base model. Don't think I'd be putting 18s on it though - just intended as something to get my other half to work and around town and nothing more.

How does it compare to the Barina generally?

[dug74]

runs rings around them in all respects incl the stereo.
More sporty susp and better feel on the road.

Hmmm lets just say if the swift was released last July when i bought the corsa....i wouldnt have a corsa


Also the swift does the same 0 - 100 time as a 1.8L Astra.

Hi simon

*WAVES*

I sold simon his beep beep

yeah no black manual 3 doors left, although we just got 3 black auto 3 doors into stock, auto 5 doors are starting to thin out too!

[mr_sikma]

holden prices for all aussies now!!!

so like 15% off

i got my 2004.5 black 5spd 3-door for $14,200- with tint dive-away

i work there already

[Red AH SRI T]

acutally its not 15% off across the board, it ranges from minimum $1000 (like on the barina) to maximum 15% (commodores) i think its 13% on Astra's if i remember correctly

[CJB]

So the run out barina is $12,990??? DAMN WHY DIDN'T I BUY THIS YEAR!!!
