1992 Ford Capri XR2 review from North America
"Outperforms cars costing five times as much!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side headlight motor.
Leather steering wheel peels in heat.
General comments?
Although the turbo lags in first gear, overall acceleration is excellent. For a cute rag-top, this car has serious muscle.
Suspension and handling are remarkable, but occasionally rough at low speeds.
Altogether, this car is eye-catching, and ferociously fast when opened up. Two thumbs up for the Aussie born Ford!
