1995 Hyundai Excel Sprint review from Australia and New Zealand
"Reliable little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump rebuild.
Engine wore dramatically in last 15.000 km.
Burns oil even thicker one like 25W60.
General comments?
Very reliable and quite cheap to run, but poor accessories- no A/C, PS, ABS, tacho- very plain.
Low fuel consumption.
Still original engine and would have lasted longer if better maintained- previous owner serviced the car every 20.000 km on average.
Great for city and suburban cruise, but poor at high speeds and highway.
