Freaking nightmare.  IIRC you had to change the two rear spark plugs through the firewall.

Not sure where the fuel pump is on a typical 260 but it is below the rear “seat” in the Tiger.

I daily a 10 year old Prius and it gets 43 mpg most of the year on regular tires. When it’s nice out and I’m not using climate control I can get 45-46. With LRR tires I could probably add 1-3 mpg.  I would hope this does better. Friend with a Sonata hybrid gets 40-41 in his which is probably a few hundred pounds…

This advice was in the troubleshooting section of my Tiger’s owner’s manual. There is a hatch behind the seat with direct access to the fuel pump. It’s sole purpose was to allow the driver to tap on the fuel pump when it got stuck which was about 75% of the time in my Tiger.

When operating a Sunbeam, the first thing you have to do is tap the fuel pump with your bumbershoot.

This makes me feel funny inside.  I want it so bad.

Please buy this.  I’ve always loved AMC’s and an M Coupe has been my dream car for awhile.  This thing makes me feel tingly inside.

Came here to say the same thing.  That is a rare car these days.

Would love to upload some pictures, the Legend really was gorgeous, but Kinja won’t let me.

Worst car I’ve ever owned. Broke down as I was signing the paperwork and didn’t get better from there. Drove it maybe 2000 miles in the two or three years I owned it. Had an Accord that drove daily and it was an infinitely better car. All the switches and controls were similar and you could definitely tell the Accord…

M45 was the same way. Japanese market cars just weren’t meant for us lardasses, obviously. Surprisingly, the J30 actually wasn’t bad. Had one of those for a minute and enjoyed it until I priced the rear struts. The only problem with it, besides the cost of parts, was that you could watch the gas gauge go down if you…

Owned one for a few years and it was absolutely the worst car I’ve ever owned. Broke while I was signing the paperwork when picking it up. Didn’t get better from there.  Drove it probably 2000 miles in 3 years of ownership because it would break every time I did.  It was gorgeous though.

Not that they were bad cars, just boring.

Always liked these cars and wanted one for a long time but whenever I drove one I was always disappointed.  Same with the Infiniti M45 and Acura Legend.

Saw one of these at a local you pull it yard during a half off sale. Started to pull the intake manifold but ran out of patience part of the way through.  Kind of wish I had kept at it.

I prefer the far superior Buick Rendezvous

The Excel was so terrible that it affects Hyundai’s resale values to this day.

Still wish they would make a hybrid Transit Connect so I could make a small camper that could get +/- 30 mpg. I’d love something about that size but my VW camper only got 12-15 mpg, might as well drive something much bigger at that mpg.
