Good Points

the calibra is still to this day a very nice looking car, and vx didnt bother to put any less than a 2L engine. they are cheap and very good value for money


Bad Points

you have to really look after these cars otherwise they will turn and bite you in the bum,

some problems you might find with the calibra include;
rusted arches
rusty sub-frames

and you will probably need a recovery truck to follow you around


General Comments

dont let the bad points put you off buying a calibra
i know i havent been put off..i have had 4 calibras now and i LOVE them, they are full of spirit -good looks- and very cheap to buy. i know some people that have had as many as 10 calibras and they still love them
there are times in calibra ownership that you will think "i cant be bothered with the hastle anymore" due to engine problems but as the problem passes and the car is fixed you some how seem to admire it even more
this is the way i see it.....what would i rather have? a £500 old banger (fiesta/nova) that has no sole with a engine that will probably blow up every 6 months of a styleish 90's coupe that is worth about the same amount of money?
I know what I would choose?
