1996 Hyundai Excel review from Australia and New Zealand
"Top reliable car with surprising performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
A lovely little car that handled and ran well. Had quite a bit of poke as well surprising a few larger cars. Get a 5 Speed EFI if you can, they really go!
