1988 Hyundai Excel GL review from North America
"Good beginner car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car the car was in the need of some TLC.
The carburator is quite worn. It burns oil and the valve cover and oil pan gasket leak.
The car has had a new CV shaft installed and some carburator work done on it since I bought the car.
General comments?
This car handles like a bus and accelerates like a tank.
The seats however are very comfortable and the accessories and place nicely.
I love this car, but if I had money to buy a different one I'd do it in a flash.
