1991 Vauxhall Calibra review from UK and Ireland
"Pile of rubbish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine blew up after 15 miles of driving it. I was not driving it mad. Was just driving along then a big bang the clouds of smoke and oil.
General comments?
This car looked fantastic when I picked it up.
When I got the car to a garage they found that a piston had shattered causing the engine to die. They informed me also that the car was rotten on the underside and should no have been on the road as it was a "death Trap".
The garage even took pity on me and didn't charge me for thier findings.
I contacted the guy that sold it to me and wanted nothing to do with it, so I lost out on £1000 after 15 miles of ownership.
So the car had to be scrapped.
