I reckon you have too Asif, they're a great car if you get the 'S' version but cheaper ones are likely to drain you wallet faster than you think  :yes:

They are fun if your a slim guy who can get out of it ok.
They are fun if you have small feet to cover the pedals.
They are fun if you want to drive it without the family wanting to have a go.
They are fun if they have been serviced ok and not by "my mate who knows everything".

You guys aren't doing a good job training me out off buying one  :mfr_lol:

I only want it as a Sunday car really. Just fancy something different. I was even looking at Ford Capris!

Asif ... Get one  :yes:
There are plenty about in that " cheap " bracket ... All with good service history and bullet proof to the end .. Perfect German engineering .. Fun motoring for very little money.

A Capri in the right condition could be pricey Asif BUT it is an appreciating classic/investment    :yes:

Not everyone has a Capri whereas Porkers are ten a penny  :whistling:
