Advantages: individuality, great drive.

Disadvantages: guzzles petrol

I have owned my capri for 4 years and hold no regrets. Though I will say that they are not for the shallow of pocket. In petrol mainly, also watch out for exhaust problems, mine often works loose from the engine, when driving on bumpy roads.
There is of course their rep for rust, which is unfortunately well founded. Look out for probs with the electrics, check rear wipers, petrol guages any inside switches.
Also I find that being on level with newer cars headlights, makes driving at night somewhat painful! Though I have to say that mine handles beautifully, the myth reg the rear swing on turns was obviously started by someone who has little experience of rear wheel drive. Excellent drivers seat comfort, bit snug in the back, tough cars, I was hit once by a big volvo, and it came off worse! All accounted for I love my capri, it truly is a little different, in the world of the bubble car I wouldn't swap it .
