calibra V6

by gavin001 » Wed Oct 06, 2010 6:53 pm

Hi all,

Havent been on here in a few years, looking at getting another calibra probably the 2.5 v6, seen a couple i like with low mileage (around 45000-50000miles) unfortunatly have to sell my 106 GTi first. Just wondering do the V6's have many problems? i was going to buy a Turbo but they are very rare and have been told their not very reliable.

Cheers,

Gav

turbos = fast fun = deep pockets
v6`s = big smiles = reliable if looked after :mrgreen:

Steve are you talking turbo/V6?
or Jam/Custard doughnuts?

Custard for me.
Seriously tho, my tubby is a blast to drive, but the se9 before was nice.

I'd have another V6. (but i'd have to play with it a little, cams/inlet etc) or drop a 3.0 / 3.2 in it.
