1993 Hyundai Scoupe LS review from North America

General comments?
I must say that I love this car, I love every year of this car. The first Hyundai Scoupe I owned was in 1996 for my first car I traded that one in because of a bad transmission. The next one I got has a very good story behind it and carries a 5 star crash rating in my eyes and few police officers eyes. I bought my red 1992 hyundai scoupe right after I returned my first scoupe to the dealership, I was out late one night around 2:30 in the morning had gotten into a chase on a main highway with a furious ex and I must say the handling in this car was excellent, I managed to round an exit ramp at 95 miles and hour, but then thought I was on a straight away on highway so I pushed the car a little further like to 130 miles and hour and realized I was heading straight down and exit ramp with a bad turn, I panicked hit the brakes got the car down to about 95mph then lost control of my scoupe and smashed into a rock wall head on at 87 mph. I must say this car held up exceptionally well the bumper cover was demolished headlights held somewhat through and the frame was bent in. The police officer at the scene didn't know how well this car was for a head on crash until he seen my car after I wrecked it. This car holds a 5 star crash rating with me because it was strong enough to save my life going that fast into a solid object. I strongly recommend this car to anyone all the time. I am on my 3rd scoupe now. I love them and will always own one for excellent handling, low maintenance, cheap parts, excellent room inside this little car and lots of nice features for a low price.
