1993 Vauxhall Calibra SE1 review from UK and Ireland
"High performance, sexy, a monster of a car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket needed replacing at about 90,000.
Cat unit failed and had to be replaced at 100,00.
Bearing in ming these are the only major replacements in six years of running the vehicle each and every day.
General comments?
The Calibra is the best vehicle I have owned to date.
Reliability, stylish good looks, performance all at an affordable price.
I would recommend the Calibra to any potential buyer.
