1997 Hyundai Excel LS review from Philippines
"Great performance in the first year!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 30K kms I replaced the condenser fan motor.
At 34K kms replaced the airconditioning evaporator.
Replaced rear wheel bearings.
Head lights busted.
Corrosion everywhere!!!
Suspension not so good (Well, what do you expect on a cheap car!)
General comments?
Even though I have replaced so much parts in the second year of ownership, I would still say that I had enjoyed and had fun driving it.
I hope that Hyundai make a better version of this model.
