Having done my apprenticeship at a ford main agent (Bristol street) I grew up with capris and have owned 7 from 1.6 GT to 3.0 GT and then 2.8i as now I bought another as a midlife crisis still love it easy to repair and maintain unlike modern cars no silly gimmicks that go wrong and need special tools and diagnostics .I would always recommend one of the V6 engined cars as they are much quicker than the 4s plus the glorious Howell of the injected V6 cheap classic insurance reasonable mpg 30+ on a run 27/28 around town ,They are not that practical as an everyday family car and you have to respect the handling especially in the wet with 160 bhp going through a live rear axle ,that said this car gets a lot of thumbs up every time I take it out ,The kids love it as do their friends.This car does give you the feel good factor and compared to all the modern Euroboxs even at 33 years old its miles ahead.
