Pros: Excellent fuel economy, Price.
Cons: Powertrain, Reliability, Interior design, Comfort.
The Bottom Line: If you can find one for free, and runs, grab it, otherwise I feel this car is a waste of money and time.
The Hyundai Excel has always been a "car don't," especially during the carburated years of 1986-1990. Despite the bad rap all Hyundai products got by 1990 they still sold fairly well compared to some other cars in its class, for one reason; ...

Pros: Dependability
Cons: Compact car
I was shopping around for a new vehicle that was affordable and reliable. I never even considered the Hyundai, as I heard such horror stories about Hyundai vehicles. As I was shopping around I poked my head into a Hyundai dealership just to see what...

I bought this car brand new in 1994. It is the best car I ever bought. I bought this car because at the time I needed a cheap reliable vehicle. The car now has over 200,000 miles and runs like the first day I bought it.

Pros: affordable
Cons: many recalls on this model
The Bottom Line: Make sure this car was serviced at time of Recall!
We bought a used '88 Excel a few years back. My only comment is make sure the previous owner heeded any recalls and do your research through NTSB!! We had an engine compartment fire in ours a week before our recall notice arrived in the mail warning of a...

Pros: Decent gas mileage
Cons: Neither defroster works well
It's going on two years since I purchased my Hyundai Excel Hatchback and I have to admit, it hasn't been a terrific experience yet I like the little car.
Right off the bat, I noticed the rear defroster didn't work at all. Since it was summer...

Before rushing out to purchase a 1994 Hyundai Excel one must understand the following:
BE CAREFUL:
The Excel is nothing more than a throw away car. It is cheaply made and at times can be very dangerous to drive. The 1994 Excel comes...

Pros: good on gas, quick, maneuverable, few troubles
Cons: Expensive repairs, poor in snow, door seal never right, small
We bought our Hyundai in 1994. I had a predisposition to dislike four bangers as well as front wheel drive but we wanted a new car, and that's what our price range offered. I was driving over the road and therefore was unavailable to make usual repairs...

Pros: None really.
Cons: This car is money pit. Stay away!
The Bottom Line: This car is a peice of junk!
This car, at best, should have only been bought if it was brand new. Pros : Gives competitive fuel mileage. Cons : Where to begin? Ummm.... 1) The parts die quickly! I made the biggest mistake of my life buying this car. Since I purchased it, ...

The Bottom Line: Would recommend the car if you found a decent deal.
I finished my second year university and was looking for a car to get me around. I wanted a Hatchback for convinience so I was origionally looking for a VW or a Honda but they were a little bit out of my price range. Found a 1994 Hyundai with 101,000 ...

If you are looking for a cheap, horribly made foreign car than this is the car for you. From day 1, we had problems with our Hyundai. When we got the car, we figured "hey, it will get us around".....wrong! First it was the clutch. We...
