1982 Holden Gemini TF SL/X Sedan 1.6 SOHC g161z from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Best value for the money around!
Faults:
Well the heat core has developed a leak, the radiator hose blew out, and I cooked the motor.
Bought a motor for $350 fully reconditioned. It's been excellent since.
General Comments:
Great first car, due to awesomeness of the SL/X haven't had to upgrade the alternator and have 2 Amps, 6 inch splits in front, 6x9's in the back, 12 inch sub in boot and dual battery system running, and even if I drive around all day with the stereo cranked, it still doesn't flatten the battery's :D.
(regular Gemini's are 35amp alternator's, the SL and SL/X alternators are 50amp)
Anyhow, probably a great car all round, and it also has an alarm and central locking now.
Turbo kit going on in 1 year ~
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The TF gemi would have to be best first car to own. I have owned many cars, but the TF would have to be the best car on fuel and it's handling is good as gold.
