Customers say

The Hyundai Excel is mostly recognized by owners as a budget-friendly choice with commendable fuel efficiency and a spacious interior despite its compact size. Reviewers have positively highlighted its easy handling and comfort. However, there are concerns regarding its build quality, particularly with the gearbox and brake systems, which have led some to question its long-term durability and reliability. Overall, it's considered a decent option for basic transportation, especially in urban settings.

I owned my Excel (Auto) in early 2007, Great Mileage, Good performance from auto transmission. I serviced it myself easy as cake. Had to replace Alternator took 15mins. Easiest car to work on. My friend who owns an S14 Sylvia it impressed with how this went. Good fun, great value.

I grew up driving around in this bad boy. Mine is actually red and in almost mint condition (no rust). Plus not many cars these days have a 3-speed automatic

Engine was OK, transmission needs refinement. gas mileage was good, Interior Trim was good. Exterior trim and paint was excellent. Paint color looked custom but actually was stock. Handled more like a sports car than a sedan, corned well with moderate body roll.

I bought this car off of my mothers family for 8 bills (800 bucks). it was in somewhat rough condition but it ran. I should have turned away because it needed alot more work than i thought. It was a low mileage car (50k) but i was not expecting to have to redo my entire brake system ($350) and then have my timing belt replaced the following week due to it snapping( another $350). This was all after i put 150 on tires because it had 2 bald tires in the front. Luckily the family decided to help me with the repair costs and pay 500 bucks. The radio has issues with the wiring and needs to be completely redone ( not wanting to put 200 into this). But after i got all these things fixed she runs pretty good. I did a full tune up and ran a can of seafoam to dissolve any carbon deposit and did an oil change. The head gasket and motor block are in bad shape and i will need a new car in about a year or 2. (gasket leaks into cylinder chamber and i cannot change or repair it because the idiot that owned it prior to my moms family beat the hell out of it and the motor block cracked. Right now it runs fine but i have to put coolant in every 3-4 days. It does not overheat but has a leak so that it blows a small amount of white smoke on startup. Overall if I had a chance to buy something else i would have, Its not a bad car but I know now to really look for the little things when buying any used car, Don't drive it for 30 minutes say it runs and buy it. It gets me form point a-b around town but I say stay away from older hyundai cars. Most of them in 1986-1994 were abysmal and the 1995-2000 were very slightly improved.but still sucked

My 1992 Hyundai Excel is very well built. Paint is dried, interior has a few rips, but runs AWESOME! Fast little beast. Gas mileage is GREAT! Fun to drive, nice to have a little red hatchback. Tough, 3-SPD- Transmisson can't be stopped! Neither can the 6cyl. ECI Multi motor. Overall, great car.
