1986 Ford Capri 2.0 Laser review from UK and Ireland
"Worth getting out of bed for (except if it's cold and wet)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drive belt replaced day after I bought it.
Heated Rear Screen didn't work.
WD40 required when the weather's a bit cold!
General comments?
The best car that my £250 could have bought me at the time. It was almost as old as me and yet it started pretty much all the time and never died on me.
If you want to cruise to College and receive respect from all who see you, then get a Capri. I actually got girls who I didn't know come up to me and ask for a ride up the road and back!
The insurance was a little scary, but 18 year old males aren't supposed to drive cars like this. Still, all good things must come to an end and for me it was a very abrupt halt! After 2,500 fantastic miles, the car overheated and oil exploded everywhere. I still managed to sell it for what I paid though!
