1995 Holden Calibra YE V6 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Don't buy one unless you love repair shops"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The amount of problems I had this car was ridiculous, all in all it cost me 7000 to repair and get it to a roadworthy level.
Most of these problems were present when I bought the car, but I was naive and this was my first car, so somehow I didn't notice. Head cylinder was dodgy, many sensors were dodgy, windows didn't work usually, the auto was very jerky, really bad oil leaks, fuel lines replaces, I can't remember most of the problems, but there was a LOT.
General comments?
Buying this as my first car was THE WORST decision I have EVER made, it was a car from hell, I had it for about 1 year and the problems just piled up and up and up. The only thing good about this car was that it looked very nice. Most of them handle very well at high speeds, but myne couldnt even get to high speeds as there was one problem causing it to have low power. Stuff happened that is just laughable with this car like, I took it to buy a TV once and the boot broke so I couldnt put the TV in the boot, it just fitted on the seat after much trying to fit it.
