1996 Opel Calibra review from Australia and New Zealand
"Stylish Sports Car, Chicks Love It"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well it had a little oil leak, but that was easily fixed with a sealant.
Um also the water pump and a pulley was damaged which needed to be replaced.
Muffler rattled and I rep (laced it with a sports muffler.
Air con and ABS doesn't work. Electrical problem and I haven't fixed that, but its about $200.
General comments?
Oil leak was fixed with $80.
Water pump and pulley cost $400.
Sports muffler cost $235 but if I wanted the original muffler it would have cost like $700.
The car handles great and at high speed like 240km/h it feels great. It feels like you are going 40km/h.
The car interior is high class, nice and comfortable.
