1996 Opel Calibra YE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best looking sports car on the road!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One problem I have had with it is the rear tail lights, the globes died!
General comments?
This car has been my dream to drive, I have always loved the look of the car. When I read about the problem I thought twice, then I found out they came out in a V6... From driving a VS Commodore this in its own league, comfort is one of them and it's very roomy for a sports car. Also has heaps of balls when revved over 3,000 rpm, the engine is very aggressive!!!
