Holden TK Barina Hatch 3-door

The Australian small car market saw a big change in December 2005, when Holden replaced the Opel sourced Barina with the Daewoo Kalos hatchback, the brand-new TK Holden Barina. It was the first time the Barina nameplate was sold in the four-door sedan version, equipped with a 1.6L twin-cam 16-valve engine. Holden made this move hoping to stay competitive in the small car market, as they faced rivalry from more advanced South Korean models such as the Hyundai Getz. At first, the 2005 Barina model wasn't well-received, due to a 2-star drop in ANCAP crash test results, earning one of the worst rated results in ANCAP history. The hullabaloo surrounding this situation led to major media coverage and criticism, resulting in the Holden Managing Director needing to undergo public defense for their product. It is evident that longer lasting and higher quality cars have an advantage in the Australian small car market, despite being more expensive than cheaper models. Despite that, the 3 door manual TK Barina is still accessible for consumers, costing only from $13,490AUD.
