1992 Vauxhall Calibra 16V review from UK and Ireland
"Great car, cheap to run and insure, reliable, but not quick enough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel leak due to corroded pipe.
Instrument panel lights need replaced.
Water leaks from under bonnet to cockpit when in car wash.
General comments?
Very nice looking car.
Lovely interior with black leather upholstery, very comfortable.
Great engine, even with high mileage.
Disappointing perfomance for a car with 150 bhp. 0-60mph 8.0sec not good enough.
My old Astra GTE was quicker and that was 8v standard.
One or two rust problems. Has to be expected for a ten year old car, but it's a quality car for its age. Drives like new.
