Vauxhall Calibra 1990-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A lot of car for the money.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Exhaust downpipe expensive. Cavalier parts means most bits are cheap.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Nice, but not so good in the wet.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quicker than any new 2-litre coupe, poor low end torque though.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    2 years and no problems, except that damn downpipe!

    Yellow! The only colour the Calibra still looks good in, the rest look sad and dated.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Leather heated seats, nice driving position. Cozy in the back!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    1 out of 5 1.0
