Australian - Any comments on a Hyundai excel? Thinking of getting one for my partner as her run around. Looking at 1997+.

The 70-80 is were a bucket of bolts. But l heard that the company pulled up its shorts and is now making a quality product.

Yep great car, had one myself. Make sure you call RTA and get engine checked (give them the engine no). My advice is MAKE sure you get them serviced regularly by a hyndai specialist. Great zippy car, cheap to run, but can have motor hiccups if not serviced properly.

if you are not fussy it is an ok car to go from a--b just some problem like broken window handles,,,,,windows wont go up or down or stucked in the middle and if it is a manual car a little bit crunchy on the pedal always under power with a little bit of load but still ok for round around and very economical
but if you are driving a corrola or mazda you can see the difference
goodluck

she wo not win any races.it is an ok car very reliable, friend had one with 500,000 km. It was well-maintained...of course he had a mule chain behind him.
