Just a little help please.
MY girlfriend is finally getting a car and wants a Barina. 
Seeing as they are shitty little things I know bugger all about them. Can anyone tell me what to look for in terms of a good buy or problem areas with Barinas? Suggestions on other girly, cheap cars. Anyone who knows anything about 'em could they let me know either here or by PM. Thanks.
Richard.

engine oil leaks are a bit of a prob, someone that i know has a 1996 model an its a bit of a leaker, not sure of any other key points, but theres one for you.

Mine (I'm selling it soon  ) only ever gets up to and around 95 if I'm in traffic on a hot day. Otherwise it sticks way under the 90 mark and makes me feel as if the temp gauge is broken again.

how bout getting a starlet..theyre not that bad...in fact there great...theyll hit 160km/h no probs and will reach 180km/h if you push it hard enough...its a toyota...and...in future you can chuck in the 4efte engine...for 100kw..
the indicator is on the right hand side of the steering column and you wont get mixed up and put the wipers on when you signal right...eheh
