Holt · Wagon 1.6
Bought used at 82 000 km from a private seller with a full book. Rear springs were tired, I swapped them in a weekend with a spring compressor and a neighbor. The 1.6 pulls a trailer of firewood if you stay off the motorway and accept third gear on hills. Cabin rattles above 110 — the parcel shelf and a loose belt cover.
Dealer service quoted a fortune for a timing belt; an independent bay did belt, rollers, and water pump in a morning. Rust started on the tailgate seam. I treat it every autumn with a wax stick. Seats are cloth and they still look honest. Average for this version on Bay is 4.1 from 11 notes.
