1990 Mercury Capri L review from Germany
"Under-rated bargain convertible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition warning light sometimes comes on but doesn't seem to mean anything.
Small cover of hood cover hinge broken.
General comments?
Trouble-free pleasure. The car would put other cars half its age to shame. Exterior and interior are still in excellent condition.
The car is totally reliable and everything works perfectly.
Feels a bit slower than Mazda MX5 but the MX5 did have a 1.8 engine.
After reading reviews I worry when things will start to go wrong.
Can anyone tell me where I can get parts if anything does go wrong?
