1987 Hyundai Pony review from North America
"I love my Pony"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My little Pony did leak a lot of oil. However, it cost me a few Canadian pennies to have that problem fixed.
The car had been great. Up until one year ago, nothing really had been fixed or replaced. It didn't need it. My alternator is going slowly. The regular boosts I need don't bother me. I only need to have it boosted after driving in the rain. The head gasket plate cracked after an amazing 165,000 km.
General comments?
This is a great little car. It gets me where I need to go, which is mostly highway driving.
It's not the most comfortable car. It's a good thing I'm a small person. Seat covers make it bearable, especially in the summer, those plastic seats get hot.
This is the best ugly car I have ever driven. It's fun, handles like a go-cart.
And, I have managed to keep myself occupied regardless of the fact that I don't have a radio. Thank god there is a manual choke for those cold Canadian winters too.
