1993 Vauxhall Calibra 4x4 review from UK and Ireland
"If you like speed and style, this is the car for you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the front and rear discs and pads.
Head gasket replaced under warranty.
ABS sensors play up a lot, need replacing but doesn't appear to affect the ABS system.
Oil leak, unknown cause.
Coolant light permanently on, sensor broken.
4x4 light comes on, but if the engine is turned off and on again light goes out and 4 wheel drive is re-enabled!!
General comments?
Apart from that, a brilliant car to drive, very fast, eats most other cars on the road, capable of 150mph+ (not that I would know), good handling and very stylish. Plenty of mods available too.
