JF Viva

VIVA was an English Vauxhall small car of the 1960s – which Holden marketed between 1964 and 1967 as ‘The Holden Small Car’ – that subsequently grew into the classic Holden Torana range.So it’s ironic that the vehicle that the English Viva became many generations down the track – the hugely successful TS Astra – was replaced by another Viva.But this Viva was from South Korea – Daewoo to be precise – and was nothing more than a slightly re-engineered 2003-2004 J200 Lacetti.Unlike that car though, Holden brought in a five-door hatchback and four-door station wagon versions to back up the neat four-door sedan.Viva’s job was to be Holden’s representative in the booming sub-$20,000 small car segment – Australia’s largest for the first time ever in 2005 – where it would sell underneath the TS Astra’s real replacement, the Belgian built AH Astra.Key rivals were also South Korean – Hyundai’s Elantra and the Kia Cerato, as well as the Toyota Corolla Ascent and Nissan Tiida.Dual front and front side airbags, air-conditioning, power steering, remote central locking, windows and mirrors, a CD/MP3 player, 15-inch steel wheels and steering wheel-mounted audio controls were included.Anti-lock brakes, alloy wheels and rear power windows formed a $1290 option pack.Power came courtesy of a 1.8-litre twin-cam 16-valve four-cylinder engine.Related to the unit servicing all Astra’s since the 1996 TR, this ageing Family One motor was nonetheless Euro IV emissions-compliant, managing 89kW of power at 5800rpm and 169Nm of torque at 3600rpm.In manual guise the Viva returned 7.4L/100km in the ADR 81/01 fuel consumption rating, 1.4L/100km less than what Holden said the auto offered.

GoAuto Search Words

Search will attempt to find all articles within the system that contain any or all words you are looking for.

You can include words like "and" + "or" for boolean style searching. Some search examples as follows:

  • "Ford v8" - Results will contain the text as it appears in the search "Ford v8".
  • "Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
  • "Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

  • "Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
  • "Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.

Please note: Due to the number of articles, searches may take a few moments to respond.
