1978 Holden Torana UC 202 from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Catastrophic failure
Faults:
Car prone to over heating. Constantly blowing head gaskets.
A/C works in two modes - off and arctic.
Front right hand brakes grabs.
Ignition system prone to failure, especially with the distributor.
Car floats due to poor suspension.
Brake system requires frequent attention.
Fuel system also requires frequent attention.
General Comments:
High running costs with profoundly poor reliability. Less breakdowns if driven under 60kmh, and for extremely short distances.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I am 15 years old and I find the UC a very good and reliable car, I have 202 auto and it has done only 80,000kms. I rally it at the Victorian Pacanham auto cross club. I bought the car for $400 with no motor, the engine came from a smashed vb commadore (compliments of me). The interia is in mint condition and the body is pretty damn good but in under coat. (will be a manual soon).
