1985 Hyundai Stellar GLS review from UK and Ireland
"A bulletproof tank which will go on forever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear suspension bushes tend to wear out every 40000 miles or so.
Recently, the gearbox has started to whine a bit, I guess this is to be expected at this mileage!
One or two spots of rust coming through, fortunately only surface rust.
General comments?
A very reliable car, it just keeps on going.
Pretty comfortable on long journeys.
Parts are cheap (dealers are clearing out their stock of parts) and very simple to work on.
