1991 Ford Capri review from Australia and New Zealand
"Quick for a cheap car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The headlights bulb broke numerous times.
The gearbox fell through.
The alternator isn't working prroperly.
General comments?
It is a rather sporty car for the time and certinly for a 1600cc turbo fwd car. It is quick around the corners and gets to 100km/h in about 6.5 seconds which is smiler tho the lotus elan. The only bad things about the car are really that it is fwd and can't get quick take off and that the parts are starting to fall apart, break etc.
