1992 Holden Calibra YE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Underrated and underpriced gem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Valves dropped causing a head gasket to blow.
Air conditioner compressor broke.
Alloy head went soft causing oil to seep into the water.
Crack in the block - new motor.
General comments?
In all this car is fantastic. It performs well.
This car came from a dodgy dealer who has had to pay for all the repairs so far. Just look out as repairs can be expensive.
In all this would have to be the best value sports car around.
