I am a big Fan of 2.8i Capris ( i,ve owned 7 of them in the past but i,m over it now) If you,ve just passed your test i,d say steer clear of them unless you can get hold of a "job lot" of rear quarter panels. In the wet they really are that bad
If you want fun then i,d say go for the XR2. My misses had one and it was great fun
