1992 Mercury Capri 2dr Convertible
I bought the Capri in 10-99 with 104k miles on it. It now has over 156K miles.
I have had so much fun with putting the top down and just driving. It has
started to nickel and dime me. It needed a new clutch at 153k and a new
catalytic converter. The rear wheel bearings went out at 149k and it wasn't
done right so it needs to be replaced again. I enjoy the top down and for only …
$1500.00 it is a great car. The engine and transmission are from the Mazda
323 so it has been reliable.
Still A Fun Ride

1992 Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo 2dr Convertible
3 years ago I bought a blue 1992 XR2, just like the picture. It was really about the mileage since our other cars were 2 Ford Expeditions which only got 9 mpg on a good day. Well what a surprise that little car turned out to be. Although it had 78,000 miles on the odometer, it still started and ran like a top. The 5 speed tranny is still tight and the acceleration after driving that land … barge was nothing short of breathtaking. I swapped out the old 15" wheels for some new "A.R" 16" wheels and put on some 225X 60 series tires and what a difference. The thing just hugs the road in a bear grip and will not let go even though I really push it.I found a hard top and its all set.
I love this car

1994 Mercury Capri 2dr Convertible
I purchased my Capri in 1996 and drove it for a few years as my only car. I had some foot issues and had to stop driving stick so the car sat - fell into disrepair but I would not part with it. I still kept the engine up and my service man thought I was nuts but he obliged. This year, I had surgery and I am now going to drive her again. I just had her restored to her former glory and … she is like a brand new car. I look forward to driving her (nice days only - she's deserving of it) She is stored for winter and will only see sunshine going forward.
Fun, Fun, FUN!!!

1993 Mercury Capri 2dr Convertible
I have had the pleasure of having a rare in My life. That would be the "Special" '93 Capri that I have dubbed a Sheep in Wolfs clothing. '93 was the year Mercury decided a good idea would be dress a base like Turbo and see if anybody noticed, As a pure Fun ride this car is ahead of it's time. If it were to be released today it think it would be neck and neck with it's rear wheel drive … cousin The Mazda MX-5. Performance is great!!! The results of neglect were easily corrected with standard and available parts. The A/c still works and was part of the XR@ upgrade as was the working, at 20mph cruise control. Mileage has been between 18 and 24 MPH depending on type. Do I recomend this??? Oh YEAH!
