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.

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.

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.

Glad I’ve still got my escort over 21 years later. Thanks Tiff

Calibra for cruising, Cossie for the twisties.

I used to watch this over and over as kid, thanks for uploading! (p.s. I ended up with a Golf 🙄)

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.

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

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..

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.

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 😂
