Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1982 Capri.
The 1982 Mercury Capri is the focus of this reference page, and the model's tracked complaint history covers the years 1991 through 1994. Complaints peaked at 40 in 1991 and fell to 3 in 1994, the lowest count in that span. That positions the 1982 model year within a reliability record that trends downward across those four years, meaning the documented feedback comes from the vehicle's later service years rather than from its introduction.
