1987 Hyundai Excel GLS review from North America
"Cheap Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV Joint was gone when I bought it used it for a year and bought a used one for $15.Had to replace water pump $10 used. and front right caliper $5.Timing Belt and fan belt $40.
General comments?
This thing has never failed me.
Starts every day winter and summer.
Power sunroof is great.
Seats really comfortable with lumbar support.
Still pretty peppy for 589000 km.
