Good for beginners, generally worth it when you don't have a lot of cash... you'll cry at the gas station.

Cons: High fuel consumption

Even though the car is old and has seen better days, it's a good car, perfect for commuting. With an LPG installation, it's almost free to drive.

Cons: Aging vehicle

Pony IV Review

Overall, I am very satisfied with the car, as evidenced by the fact that I've been driving it for 8 years. Unfortunately, it doesn't have many "bells and whistles," but that's not necessary for driving. Generally, reliability is important to me, and considering the car's age, it's excellent.

Pros: Excellent reliability for its age, Satisfactory for daily driving
Cons: Lacks modern features and "bells and whistles"

Pony IV - Tough and Powerful

This car has been upgraded with a few extra horsepower and features like 4x electric windows, electric sunroof, power steering, and much more. I drive it aggressively and tow trailers; the car is very durable and won't quit. My next car will also be a Hyundai. Regards.

Pros: Added horsepower, 4x electric windows, Electric sunroof, Power steering, Very durable, Reliable for towing

Pony IV

My wife uses it for work. It starts up on the first try in winter. Besides the roughly 4,000 I put into it, I'm happy now. The automatic transmission is full comfort; if you've never driven one, don't comment.

Pros: Starts reliably in winter, Comfortable automatic transmission
Cons: Requires significant investment after purchase

Pony IV

I just returned from Spain, having driven the car over 6,000 kilometers. The only issue was a flat tire. On the highway, it consumed less than 8 liters of gas per 100km, even though it was loaded with 4 people and full luggage. It performed perfectly!

Pros: Excellent fuel economy on the highway, Reliable performance during long trips
Cons: Suffered a flat tire

Pony IV

This car is worthy of more attention. It's reliable and trouble-free. It's been in my family since new, and we've never had even the smallest problem. The only requirement is to remember timely fluid and belt changes. It's 18 years old, and the only rust spot is about 7 cm on the left rear fender. A big plus is the inexpensive spare parts. Highly recommended.

Pros: Reliable and trouble-free, Inexpensive spare parts, Durable construction
Cons: Requires timely maintenance (fluids/belts), Minor rust can appear over time

Pony III

Last year I traveled over 5000km in Spain. This year, after replacing a valve, I drove over 4000km the very next day after the repair – I visited Naples in my Pony. I think for a car from 1994, these are quite satisfactory results :)

Pros: Reliable for long distances, Good performance for its age
