1991 Vauxhall Calibra 16v review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front suspension strut broke, cat went shortly after buying the car. Hint of rust where rear wheel arches turn under.
General comments?
I've had this car two and a half years, mileage was 85k when bought, I've just turned 115k. Extremely reliable, great performance (0-60 in 8.5-ish, I believe. But whatever, most people get left behind!) And those looks! Mine's white, and it looks a dream whether slicing through the wet spray or cruising in the summer sun! It's also incredibly practical, what other sports coupe can you fill full of band gear?
OK the interior's a bit naff, but what interior doesn't seem naff after a couple of years anyway?
