1992 Hyundai Excel LX review from North America
"Problems after problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 165 000, the starter died. 150$ Since this time, I have a problem with it : it don't always start!
During the winter, I had to changed the battery and the alternator. 500$
3 Months after, it was the muffler. 260$
Now, I have to change the brake and I got problems again with my new alternator.
The motor really drinks oil!
When I start the car, it smells very bad and the motors makes weirds noises.
And so more littles things who drives me crazy!
General comments?
The baddest car in this world!
The only two positives points that I found, are the comfortability of the seats and the gas consummation. I easily make 200km when the tank is "full"
I paid this Hyundai 500$, put more than 700$ on it, and only after one year, I'm not able to sell it more than...600$ or 700$!
I lost time and money for nothing!
