1992 Holden Calibra YE review from Australia and New Zealand

Crank shaft angle sensor, air conditioning system, coolant temperature sensor, crack on dashboard.

First, EMS warning light came on, then check to an authorized dealer, crank shaft sensor broke down, dealer had to order, wait for 10 days to be repaired. Also air conditioning had to be retro-fitted with ozone friendly gas (since it was manufactured 10 years ago where ozone 'unfriendly' gas is OK). Coolant temperature sensor had to be replaced. And European cars' habit, cracks at the front part of dashboard near front demister. Repairable by sealing the cracks with fiberglass and resins + paint.

Overall, I spent around AU$600 to fix the car till it seems to be a new car again.

The handling is quite precise though the steering wheel is sensitive to road conditions, sporty suspension (not suitable for women), all electrics, fast.

One thing to have in mind though,... not all people in the world can drive this car... you've got to be a tall, long legged, long handed person... the seats are quite low, the pedals are quite far away, the steering wheel is like ordinary cars, but the gear knob is really close to you, so you've got to push your seat closer to pedals, but you must also adjust to have a comfortable position to change gears...

And, if a person seating on the front passenger seat, you'll find that your hand will sometimes touching his/her hand when you change gears.

But, don't worry... overall, it's really a great car.
