1991 Vauxhall Calibra review from UK and Ireland
"Very nice and sleek looking car!!! Still turns heads today if you look after them!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats wear easily.
Under floor rusting a MAJOR problem.
Engine ticks loud at cold start.
Rear discs failed 1 week after purchase.
ABS crap in the wet/snow.
Relays keep packing in, no knowledge where specific ones are eg. head lamp washers.
2 new wish-bones at the front (MOT failure).
Original speakers / radio crap, now got ALPINE kit, sounds really good.
Standard alarm useless, fitted CLIFFORD instead.
General comments?
VERY fast!!! 140mph!!!
Nice and smooth ride (generally).
Exhaust (Magnex) sounds the business.
Car now 10 years old, does not show it!!!
Standard alloys look nice as it is!
Next car will be a V6 or 4x4 Turbo.
