Vauxhall Calibra 2.0i 16V 3d (1997/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Three grand for a 1997 car in good condition.
Costs
Just been seviced at a cost of £50, so it's very good. The insurance is also good for a 23 year old.

On the road
Driving
Good ride. Not to firm, not to soft. Handles well in the corners.
Performance
Very good motorway cruiser and nimble round town. A lot better than the Vectra I traded in for it.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Brake pad sensor stuck on, even though brakes are fine.
Image
Still turns heads and looks a lot better than some newer Coupes on the road.
Comfort
Like sitting in an arm chair.

Security and Service
Security
Insurance companies aren't too keen on the standard alarm, and want you to have a Cat 1 alarm really.
