1991 Ford Capri review from Australia and New Zealand
"A rattlebox"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Shock absorbers at front played up.
Driver's window regulator motor packed up at 160km.
Clock light stopped working.
Many rattles.
General comments?
Totally gutless car, much worse than I had expected. I usually drive autos because I hate manuals, but this car was seriously slow to go anywhere. Totally depressing to drive with the roof on as one rattle after another could be heard. Take the roof off and the car is a dream. Was a second car and could not bear to drive it at night or on cold days due to sluggish speed and non-stop rattles. No interior light or demister can frustrate with soft roof. Roof has tendency to tear at joins, was replaced once. A lot of interior trim components very cheap and fall off or start rattling. Very disappointed in the general build quality.
