1991 Vauxhall Calibra 8v review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've owned the car for two years. Whan I bought it, it had 78,000 on the clock. It is now 100,000+. I can honestly say it has not missed a beat. Absolutely stupendous reliability.
General comments?
Being only 8v, overtaking is EXTREMELY hairy, but in most normal driving situations, power is sufficient. Handling not the best, but looks very sexy in white, so that's alright then.
I plan to upgrade to a V6 or a Turbo soon, and can see myself driving Calibras for years to come. There is nothing on the market that can touch this car for reliability, performance, and looks.
