It was purple with some kind of girly decal along the sides. It was terrible on wet roads too. I actually had another Barina years later. A 2005 with a DOHC 1.4. That was a much better car.
The older Barina 1.4 reached 156 and it was limited to that and wouldn't go over no matter how hard you tried.

The newer ones had 60kw but still under powered considering the competition was in high 60's to mid 70's kw.
