1997 Opel Calibra V6 review from Netherlands
"Stylish sports coupe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a problem with the ASR system so the tyres tend to spin. Got in under control, so don't really mind. Understood that repairing would be relatively expensive.
The Calibra's do have a tendency to rust on certain locations (standard Opel problem during the 80's and 90's), but prevention is possible.
General comments?
This is one of the most beautiful coupes that you can still get (2nd hand). Not only is it beautiful, it's sporty as well. And now for a relatively low 2nd hand price.
