Advantages: sports model with more internal space than most

Disadvantages: not a family car

The Calibra is a great car to drive.......amazing power beneath that bonnet - put your foot down and you're off, leaving everyone else behind.
It's a powerful car ( we had the 16 valve)but with more internal space than your average sports model. Sadly we had to let it go as it *is* a 2 door and it just is not a car for a family with 3 young kids. Our kids were of an age to need car seats and a buggy and lifting the baby in and out was just doing my back no good at all, and whereas you *can* fit an average sized buggy in nthe boot, there's then no room for anything else.
It was a reliable car and we were sad to see it go. If you don't need a family model, or aren't worried about boot space, it may well be the car for you.
Driving it was a real pleasure, they're very responsive cars and it always amused me that most other road users moved to let me overtake even when I was travelling well within the speed limit!
The Calibra is a good looking vehicle and a nice compromise if you want a sports model but have one or two kids, or just want more passenger space. Very nippy and an absolute pleasure to be behind the wheel.
