1994 Hyundai Scoupe LS review from North America
"This is a good car, but time consuming and expensive to fix"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission had to be replaced.
The head gasket is currently being fixed.
The moldings along the bottom of the doors have begun to come off.
The plastic on the console has begun to warp.
General comments?
This car is very fun to drive. My father purchased it for me in June of 2002.
In early September of 2002, the transmission blew, which caused me to lose steering control. The car was in the shop for 6 weeks while parts were being ordered. This was $1605 to fix.
In late December, the head gasket blew. It has been 6 weeks and I am still waiting on on the shim kit for it. The mechanic expects parts and labor to be near $1000.
Front seating is very roomy and comfortable, but the back seat is extremely uncomfortable for an average teen or adult.
The car has been very well preserved considering it is 9 years old. The seats are in excellent condition and the paint has only chipped a little bit on the spoiler.
The engine in my car was discontinued four months after production began, so finding parts is a very long and difficult process. It has caused many frustrations for me to be without a car for months at a time.
I would not recommend this car because of the difficulty in finding parts.
