I love this car but the only problem is, is that there isn't a place that i can buy cheap parts for it. Ebay is overpriced and autopart stores don't sell most parts. so if you know where i can find a cheap driver side window regulator, let me know. Cause its bugging me not being able to roll down my window.

Inherited my XR2 from Dad. He bought it new in '91 upon retirement. Less than 12K! He recently replaced the top. Drivers headlight doesn't pop-up, door locks questionable and interior QC sorely lacking. Otherwise, great shape. Fun to drive; but considerable turbo lag and FW drive, so it really oversteers! Wider, stickier tires and strut brace will help. Nice looking w/ top down but dorky tiny wheels/skinny tires. Looking for 15" 7 spoke rims from '94s. I've a '94 Mazda RX7. THAT's a real sportscar! XR2's more a sporty econobox with soft top. Surprisingly comfortable, roomy and good ride. Easy drop top. Large trunk for a small car. Awesome gas mileage at 30+ highway. Spongy brakes.

Great lil' car!

When my grandfather passed away a few years ago, i inherited this cut little car. He wasn't big into paying attention to it's needs and was always a cheapskate, so some things aren't in the best shape, but it still going good! I have been trying to restore it to all its original splendor, but its rather pricey to do in high school... This car had kind of a ruuf life, so it doesn't have as much power as it used to, but it gets goin' when you aren't payin attention. haha, great little car!

bye bye baby

Wow! I've loved every minute of owning this great little red car. Perfect for local runabout--has always been reliable and trouble free, and loads of fun to drive. Sorry to part with this old friend, but with all the SUVs and trucks on the road, I am not as confident in myself as I used to be. It's time for someone else to enjoy this wonderful auto.

love these cars

I can't complain at all!! Friends of mine was moving last fall and they had this car sitting out on their field, said it wasn't working. And asked I wanted to have it?! A question answered with a YES! Turned out it was a simple fuse. Definitely a head turner due to the fact few people knows about this car. Still all original, NO RUST!, and with a top not leaking! New tires is on it's way! Arctic White with blue/red stripes. A perfect summer car. Average mpg (doing longdistance driving: 38mpg!)

Love this car!

I paid more than the blue book value for this car, have done almost $2,500 in repairs and maintenance, but do NOT regret it all. It drives great, handles well with alot of zip! The Turbo has great performance and I still get 30-36 mpg on this doll. I painted her red of course, and it turns heads. There were only a few of these made and I enjoy having one of the better ones now and I didn't have to go into big debt for a cute, sporty, rare classic!

I love my Capri. I drove the car for a year and desided to buy something else so I wouldn't put miles on it. I am running 103,379 miles and only drive it when I am feeling frisky.

Luckily I found this car with 39,000 original miles. The turbo gives amazing passing power for a 4 cyl. engine, there's not much accelaration in first or second gear, but third gear blows the doors off of other small, sporty cars. The gas mileage is 32+. I've painted it bright red, done some minor mechanical repairs, plan on new interior cloth this season and painting the wheels chrome. This doll always turns heads and I get a lot of questions about the car. This is my third sports car and I really love this one!! Will keep and repair until can be passed down to the grandson who also loves it.

This car has been great to drive. I love the turbo and I have been able to find many upgrades on the net. for the money there is not a better car out there. If you find one with the turbo buy it you won't regret it.

Amazing - I bought this car in '91 - that makes it 14 years old! Repairs? None! I changed the oil every 3,000 miles, and that was it. This car is so much fun to drive. I drove it through Bryce Canyon with the top down for an unforgetable experience. Too bad they don't make them anymore. I would buy it again.

This is a fun little car to drive with lots of pep! The Mazda engine performs great. I have drive this car 30000 mile the past couple of years and have not had any problems other than some minor interior trim pieces break. Great car for the money.

1991 mercury capri xr2 turbo is a fast great car to drive, they are reliable to a very high mileage like import cars and still have plenty of power, we have owned both the standard and turbo models and have never had a problem out of them , the turbo model is much faster and burns more gas but is alot more fun to drive, not that the standard is no fun , because it is, I would reccomend these cars to anyone who wants an inexpensive yet fast convertable, that is definitely not a common car you see everyday. the XR2 is a very rare model and if you see one for sale. I would reccomend buying it immediately as it will always bring your money back to you if you sell it, unlike most other usa cars.

Fun Car. Needed new Carb cost $300 ugh. Seems to run reasonably well. Some minor concerns: 1) Low Oil Pressure 2) High Temp

This car is the quintessential little convertible. It is perfect for taking a drive over to the coast with the top down. It is very maneuverable, and gets great gas mileage.

This is a nice car in perfect condition. I replaced the top as well as the seats recently, and installed a $350 XM radio allong with new speakers.

Great convertible for people on a budget. When some things did go wrong, mitsubishi parts can be substituted for certain things and those parts I found to be very cheap. Bought it to see if I would really use a convertible. I did and I loved it. Still have it to run around in, but bought a newer Sebring for more room and sharper styling.

It's great!

I love my car dearly. Other than a headlight that has stripped its gears, a common problem with Mercury Capri convertibles of this style, and other than there being poor interior lights, it is fantastic for me (but not for my very tall late husband). At this time I have too many cars, but I refuse to sell this one.

I owned my Capri for 11 years and really loved it's manueverability, comfort for a small car, and just plain fun. It had very little mechanical failure except that the automatic transmission is poor quality and even after repair was a poor performer. The front seating area can handle long legs, but not tall heads, and even though the back seat is small, tall people can sit in there when the top is down, and the trip is short. Body work is pretty spendy! The heater and air conditioner worked extremely well until the last few years The Capri has been a most enjoyable little car, especially for the initial price.

Frustrating

This is hands down the worst car I have ever owned. While it is fun to drive, it spends so much time in the shop that it's hardly worth it. DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO BUYING ONE OF THESE! You will regret it.

For the batchlor whos made it, this is it. Ok, so its not a DeLorean or anything, but its quite a car nothertheless. I bought this car 2 1/2 years ago and the only thing that has broken down on it was the distributor on the first day of high school (Senior year). That sucked! But when it comes to handeling its awesome. Parts are expensive, and I agree MOST capris are troublesome in mechanical work. Although my auto is great, my advice is to get a manual, or better yet, a turbo. I cant wait to buy my second Capri, I love this car!

This car has been near perfect for pleasure and relaxation. This little machine has almost all the feel of an expensive type fun machine, however the power end makes the difference. Hopefully the next 120000 miles will be just as good if not better to drive.

I loved my capri. If I ever win the lottery, I will definately buy another one. However, one would have to win the lottery to afford the up keep. I only had mine for 3 years, but the value dropped signifigantly, and it spent more time in the shop for the tranns mission than I did driving it. On top of it it was so limited that the parts are hard to find....But i sure do miss all the good times!
