Had a Calibra Turbo back in the 90s and went Escort Cosworth Hunting. Escorts were quicker around the bends but on the straights and top end the escorts had no chance.
1992 - "six gears may sound a bit excessive in a road car" Oh how times have change! Now you can get virtually everything with an 8 or 9 speed auto/dual clutch box.
Am sure that calibra is more comfortable than the escort. Nothing a set of good rims and a drop won't sort out. These look wicked with a little bit of work.
I always thought the Calibra had more of a executive look to it, more quietly sophisticated. Where the Escort was more likely just to come out and punch you straight in the face, the Calibra would start roomers about you behind your back but never say to your face there was a problem..
Always hated this test. Let’s take both cars to the place where the Escort was developed and see which is better? Bet Ford had conditions on letting them go there 😂

Glad I’ve still got my escort over 21 years later. Thanks Tiff
over 30 years old and it's still got the same road presence...definitely one of the top three blue oval's of all time.
Very interesting almost an eye-opener of a car documentary
I used to watch this over and over as kid, thanks for uploading! (p.s. I ended up with a Golf 🙄)
Calibra for cruising, Cossie for the twisties.

In this case I agree with tiff and im a Vauxhall nut
But he is 100% Ford biased in every test ever lol

Had a 16 v Calibra didn't trust it on the corners at all.
Sorry I didn't go for the cav gsi or turbo better chassis.

Calibra needs 4 bilsteins b6 and should be fine
Somewhere, there is a man who bought a Calibra over a Cosworth.
poor bastard
Aslak Zissou 😂
like he said the calibra would eat the ford 😅
U all blind says cavalier 4x4 turbo.. its a calibre 🤦♂️
NOT AS GOOD AS ESCORT COSWORTH.
