1995 Hyundai Pony GSI X2

Summary:

Good, reliable, economic, genuine little car

Faults:

As of this moment nothing major, although there was a episode no long ago where the head lights wouldn't turn off.

General Comments:

To be totally honest I must admit to liking this car, its quick off the marks around town and on the motorway it will fly...if you boot it a bit.

I find the steering,if anything, a bit twitchy as in having what seems to be quite a short rack, but it goes to make handling better in my humble opinion.

Cockpit is well set out nice lot of room and all in all comfortable then again I've never been the one for luxury's if it goes its worth driving and the pony certainly goes.

1994 Hyundai Pony 1.3

Summary:

This car is the Hyundai donkey..

Faults:

Various electrical faults-totally undiagnosable (even 5 mechanics didn't know what was up with the car).

Conked out regularly. And always at the best times (see below)

Car alarm went off for no reason (although it would have been a blessing if it had have been nicked)

Lousy paintwork.

Guzzled petrol like it was going out of fashion.

Noisy engine.

Handles like it's on rails (of the the Stannah stairlift kind).Seriously bad suspension, lousy handling. I hate to say it, but I can't think of one positive thing to say about this motor.

General Comments:

Maybe I'd got a lemon with this car looking at everyone else's comments. But this car is easily the worst car I have ever had EVER. And I've had some bangers.

Within the first week of purchase it conked out in the middle of nowhere on a main A road. Then after this problem was sorted (something to do with the electrics) it would repeatedly break down at least twice every journey. Eventually after 4 months of misery, constant breakdowns and days off work I left the car on a gyppo site. Just shows how good the car is cause the car was still there 6 months later... in one piece!

1995 Hyundai Pony X2 GSi 1.5

Summary:

Good basic car, not too fussy

Faults:

Nothing serious (so far).

A few niggly bits like the aerial for the radio won't go all the way up, causing poor reception on the radio.

Needed the oil changed.

General Comments:

This has been a great little car so far.

It is reasonably nippy.

Fuel economy is not too bad (after a Rover 800 anything that can pass a petrol station is an improvement).

The dipping of the clutch to start her took a bit of getting used to.

Handling is OK.

I only paid £200 for her on an M plate.

Looks good and drives well. For the money it can't be beaten.

I believe spares are expensive though.

Insurance is group 9, fairly high for a 1500 cc.

1988 Hyundai Pony GLS 1.5 petrol

Summary:

An excellent car

Faults:

During the three months I had it.

The Alternator went within first week.

H-D leads have needed replaced.

General Comments:

The condition of this car is excellent considering it is 15 years old. It has only had a bit of rust on the door, but it has been fixed.

It is a good runner and is good on petrol.

Hopefully it will last for year or more before it go to that place in the sky.

1992 Hyundai Pony x2 GSi 1.5

Summary:

Pleasure to own, but expensive on petrol and parts

Faults:

Nothing, the previous owner spent about £2000 on repairs before we bought it - the automatic gearbox alone cost them over a thousand pounds.

General Comments:

A pleasure to own and drive, when you put your foot down on the motorway you don't half know about it!

The interior is comfy, but spartan, typical Asian market car really.

Guzzles fuel like a camel in an oasis, 35mpg - if your lucky!

Parts are very expensive.

Large boot with plenty of space for a pram or buggy.

Very very reliable, but beware the costs of those spare parts!

This car is NOT a realiable car.. My car only 3 weeks old at the time had been in the shop for 5 days nonstop because of the cheap parts in the motor! DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!
