1998 Hyundai Coupe Base review from Malta
"Low cost and a low performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to change the brake calipers after 10000 miles.
The engine has been opened after 13000 miles cause it was doing a sound like if it was a diesel engine.
I changed even the clutch after 20000 miles.
General comments?
It was a mistake for Hyundai creating the coupe with a 1.6 liter engine. It cannot be compared with other 1.6 liter engines like Honda etc...
The body is too heavy for a sports car.
Beautiful dashboard if some things are changed.
