I cant think of another car that you can buy under a thousand quid that attracts as much attention as the calibra does! Its amazing how many people look as you drive by! Even people driving cars worth 20 times as much look! My hat goes off to Vauxhall for making such an awsome looking coupe!

Yeah i love it, and sort of never really expected it either.  I bought the car just because i liked the shape and the engines are (reasonably) simple to work with, has lots of stuff you can add to it if you want to.  I would be bored senseless with a really new modern car i couldnt really tinker with and never went wrong.

You find a lot of people that used to own them years ago still admire and miss them.
