1992 Holden Calibra YE review from Australia and New Zealand

"Great looking car at an affordable price"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

- Power Steering rack needed changing

- ABS and orange light come on on the dash

- Cat converter needing changing

- Muffler needed changing

- Paint on the car fading even after cut and polish

- Cassette player not working

- Cracks on the dashboard

- Heater doesn't exactly 'heat'

General comments?

This is my second car, it has great looks, great performance at a great price, however, it has been said this car is highly unreliable.

Parts are very expensive and hard to find. The cat converter cost me $220, the power steering rack was $440, and I got them cheap because my father owns a car wreckers.

The car is a comfortable drive, it had great suspension and really hugs the road. The seats in the car are too close to the gear knob and the leather around the gear knob is falling apart.

Opel/Holden should have spent more time and effort into a car that looks so good, and drives so good. If the little bits and pieces were more carefully designed than the car would have made the companies much more money and the demand for this car would be much greater.
