1993 Holden Calibra YE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Wish someone told me how expensive parts for this car are, I would have never had bought it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission needed replacing.
Steering rack needed replacing.
Exhaust needed replacing.
Door trim feel off.
Rear view mirror kept falling off.
General comments?
This car was my first real car and I ended up putting a lot of money into it. Just fixing things.
Parts for this car is so expensive.
Plus insurance on this car will cost you an arm and a leg.
This car is very sexy car though. Awesome interior. Power windows, sun roof, bucket seats.
Runs smooth.. never had a problem with the engine.
