1987 Hyundai Pony L review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First bought the car drove for about a month no problems. After that the first thing that went was the carb, it had to be rebuilt, shortly after that the water pump was leaking I replaced that myself. Ran fine for another month, then I replaced the oil pressure switch, simple 5 minute job. This is when big trouble started, the gas tank, and steel gas line were rusting, so it would get into the carb and mess it up so it would not run. Took it to the garage they cleaned the tank and the carb and out 2 fuel filters, within a week the car was back in the garage, after about 3 weeks of the same thing I finally got the car towed away, I was sick of breakdowns on the side of the road.
General comments?
The car was in excellent shape, and had over 120 psi in every cylinder! I just couldn't deal with it anymore.. The car was shaky on the highway and lots of engine noise, but what do you expect for the price you probably paid.
