Faults:

- Alternator was working, but badly

- Rotten spark leads

- ABS modulator was damaged

- Rattling doors

- Broken suspension

- Broken suspension toppings

- Water leaks

- Sunroof non working

All of these problems above except the doors were solved, and as of now the 1991 car with 15 years on the clock is shining and brand new.

General Comments:

A good looking car and cheap for its class, the Calibra is a serious car, a proper man's car.

It's basically a Vectra, and that's not even half bad, The Calibra is very reliable for its age, 15 years and lots of problems, but to be honest with you, it never let me wrong even one time.

I got back from Spain one day, EML (Engine Management Light) on, the car didn't stop, fixed the problem for less than 20€, Overall, I was able to restore my car to near perfect for only 4000€, and that includes new tyres, new suspension, new paint and almost new leather interior.

All in all the title says it all, it might be a cheap car to buy from someone, but to have it be completely perfect without any problems, I would say it's a rather good reliable car! Although the 16v version on this one is the RedTop C20XE engine, I heard that the X20XEV Ecotec engine is very Weakotec as they use to say, so stay away from Ecotec.

Faults:

The only thing that gone wrong with the car was the oil veins corrosion.

And some traces of a 12 year old car... and the electrical roof.

In the interior some plastic parts are starting to open... crashing... because of the sun.

In my dream of a kid... I really love that car... that's a BOMB... despite of 1991 my origin, the black paint is quite like it has been painted yesterday.

That car is my second girlfriend.

Everybody likes it!!!
