1990 to 1994 Mercury Capri:

Best Features
Acceleration (XR2)
Handling


Mercury Capri Performance
Acceleration is adequate with the base engine and a lot quicker with the turbocharged XR2. Unfortunately the XR2 suffers from moderate torque steer. Shift action with the 5-speed manual transmission is quick and sure. The Capri is nimble in turns, as long as you don't take the turn too fast. The front-wheel drive makes it easier to handle in tricky situations. The new sport suspension for the '94 XR2 sharpened its handling.

Capris do have a rear seat, but little leg room. Only small children or luggage can ride in the rear seat. The Capri's cabin is surprisingly wide in the front seat. The instruments and controls are neatly arranged. A Capri's trunk can stow grocery bags standing up, and might hold 2 or 3 suitcases for a couple. The plastic back of the convertible top may be prone to scratches and wrinkles.

Convertibles are not practical family cars. But if you find one for a good price, the Capri can be a fun car. Overall, the Capri is good on fuel economy, handling and comfortable driver seating.
