1996 Vauxhall Calibra review from UK and Ireland
"For the money you would be hard pushed to find a better car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gear box failure at 124.000 miles.
Rev limiter comes in at 4500 rpm for some reason.
General comments?
My third Calibra, the others being a 2.5 and a C20 LET.
Handles great on low profile 17"
They still look good! Even now.
