1992 Vauxhall Calibra 8v 2.0 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Just like the name, a very cool car
Faults:
Car stalls when starting the car straight after a journey, but I have rev the engine and seems to fix it. Apart from that no major problems have occurred since ownership.
General Comments:
Sexy looking car, why Vauxhall stop making this model only god knows.
This car is so reliable even with high mileage.
A stunner to admire, look and own.
Very cheap to buy for a expensive sporty look.
I am going to buy another newer Calibra.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I own a 8V Calibra. They are certainly not sluggish and the suspension is the same as the 16V therefore the handling is the same!! The car does 0 - 60 in around 8.5 seconds and a top end of in excess of 130mph. This is more respectable than most "Hot hatches" like the GTI's, XR2i's and Celica's etc. The 8V even has more torque than the 16V. With a few choice mods the Calibra 8V is great value and fun and the insurance is reasonable.
