1992 Holden Calibra review from Australia and New Zealand

"Unreliable good looking car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Ignition module continually failed, replaced several times.

Power sunroof never seems to want to work.

Interior is not the best quality.

General comments?

Although this is a top looking car, with a reasonable amount of power (Commodores are too quick for it though), it is the reliability which is a serious problem.

Parts are way too expensive, and the handling is good when not on the power, with power on, under-steer and torque steer is very annoying and can be plain dangerous.

On a number of times, putting full power on meant the car would suddenly dart off to one direction through no movement of the steering wheel.

This is a car that should be left to those who reallylove their Calibra's, as no one else could put up with this rubbish. Thankfully, I only owned the car for less than 4 months. If you're an owner, or planning to buy one, get out now, while you can.
