1995 Hyundai Scoupe LS review from North America
"A good buy if you don't expect a Lexus for the price of a Yugo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only had this car for a little over a year, so I don't know what the previous owner had as far as problems. My problems are as listed below:
* new air conditioning system
* new water pump
* new struts, front and back
* new timing belt
* new catalytic converter
* new regulator in power window
* car doesn't always start on first try
* rattles in the doors and dash
* idle RPM surging.
General comments?
I have only had the car for a year, and I have had to put a lot of money into repairs, but I only paid $1500 for the car. I wanted to get a new car recently and I was only offered between $1000 and $2000 for a trade-in.
There have been lots of repairs, but the car still runs at 109,000 miles!
As far as the look, I think the Scoupe is a cute little car and I am glad I got it.
