1996 Vauxhall Calibra 16v Ecotec 2.0 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Bargain basement performer
Faults:
1) Camshaft sensor
2) Water pump
3) Engine cut out after it warmed up and stopped at junctions - but fixed its self
4) £60 for a heated wing mirror glass when someone broke it. OUCH.
General Comments:
Excellent car very comfortable if your in the front not to sure about the back seats due to head room.
Reasonably quick on the road, I find the handling very good for a car of this size.
Fuel economy is great from the ecotec engine for a car if its size.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

£145 for lower arm bushes???!!! You can buy new arms with all new bushes & bottom ball joint in for about £40 a side.
