1996 Vauxhall Calibra 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Looks good, sounds good, and poke it and it will go like the clappers!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lambda sensor which to be honest was wrong with the car when I bought it (the bloke said it was a minor fault) £80.
When I MOT'd it the 'ABS lamp did not illuminate' it was just bulb though (although in fixing it I broke my speedo)
If anyone else has had problems with these please comment.
General comments?
It looks pretty damn good considering it's a Cavalier underneath.
130 mph... enough said.
It's not that common.
Most major problems are fixed under warranty (so I didn't have to worry)
It's 12 years old and no rust!
