Vauxhall Calibra Reviews

We have owned many cars and many sporty orientated cars. A calibra was ont he list of cars we wanted to own so when one came up at a good price we grabbed it. We bought a SE7 model which featured a creme leather interior which even now i miss and it also featured white dials all standard on this special edition ...  Read the complete review

My father has had a blue Vauxhall Calibra for many years now, and yes the calibre is a very nice car to look at, with its cream leather interior and sleek shape, it's a lovely car. Although my dad seems to have nothing but trouble with his Calibra, it seems as though it's constantly in and out of the garage having more work done to it. ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who knows me will doubtless say that I have 3 main interests : football, cars and music. I spend much of my life in my car. I go to work in my car (sometimes as much as a 2 hour journey each way). I go to football in my car (about a 150 mile round trip for home matches). I listen to music in my car. To put it simply, I ...  Read the complete review

Calibra, an MPV? A Multi-Purpose-Vehicle? Seriously? Yes! Calibra really is a Multi-Purpose-Vehicle: It has the looks and performance of a sports car (purpose 1), AND the practicality of a 4-seater family car with a big boot (purpose 2). My Calibra has been the family car for the last 7 years for myself, my wife and our two youngsters, ...  Read the complete review

Uncle Bobs review of the Calibra has to be definitive and I will not attempt to better it here, but rather give a view of living with the Calibra from my perspective. Sorry Sidney I also had one of these as a company car as well. Mine was a Ceramic Blue 16V with cream leather upholstery...and I loved it! Ever since the ...  Read the complete review

Vauxhall's answer to the Ford Probe? or was the Probe in retaliation to the Calibra? Well, in my opinion, Vauxhall won the battle for the coupe. Ever since I was a kid, when I could only dream about owning a car, the Calibra was the one that always sprung to mind. Ever since their launch back in 1990, the Calibra was always one of ...  Read the complete review

For it's age the Calibra is still a great looking car and the 16V has good performance for a 2.0L engine. It is a 2 door coupe so I wouldn't call it a family car but you can get 2 people in the back and the boot is a fair size for a coupe. Handling is okay, although it can suffer from typical FF torque steer and it can be ...  Read the complete review

I still think that this is a wonderful looking car. Very sleek and smooth. I still have mine (after 2.5 years of ownership), and I still enjoy the car. Mine's a 2 litre 16v, pre-ecotec model. The car is loaded with some great creature comforts:- Heated seats Heated mirrors Aircon (on mine, but not standard for the 16v) ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
