1995 Vauxhall Calibra SE 2.0i 16v Ecotech from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Sexy looking coupe!
Faults:
I got the car cheaper than market value as I knew it needed a lot of work.
So far...
Reconditioned Cylinder Head, Head Gasket, 2 x Cam Shafts, Cam belt, alternator belt, cam belt rollers and tensioner, Valve Seals, New Cat, Back box, Air-Con switch, Radiator, Water Pump, Plugs, Leads, Coolant temp sender unit.
But I still love it.
General Comments:
I haven't had the car very long only a few months, but it's running a lot better than when I first got it.
Still a bit of work to do - the engine management warning light is on every now and then. It's going into Vauxhall to be tested on TECH.
The car is really quick. Handling could be better, but hey, the car turns heads.
Chicks love the leather. + heated seats.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

You must have been unlucky, my 8V Calibra is a lovely car to drive. I get about 30mpg which is not too bad. It looks nice and drives well.
