1996 Holden Calibra YE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Comfort! A dream car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alarm was dissabled or broken when I got it. Fixed now. Idler has been replaced as it was and still is making a noise on start up after the car hasn't been running for about 8 hours.
General comments?
Great car. Awesome to drive. Handles well in all conditions. Front wheel drive makes it a dream to drive in the wet and the V6 has plenty of power! Certainly can hold its own in the old traffic light drags. At high speeds it handles amazingly as well. 200km/h it glides. Certainly is a car built for high speeds as it gets up to 200km/h from 100km/h in a blink. You'll find yourself wanting to go even faster in this car!
