1997 Hyundai Accent GL review from North America
"Best Car To Buy For The Money! Awesome Value!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check Engine Light Stays On For O2/EGR Related Reasons.
Tires Replaced (One had side-wall leak)
General Needs (Tires, Lube, Wipers, etc.)
Only thing major is clutch is slowly going out - but it has been like that for the past year and still ticking - just have to feather it more than a good one.
General comments?
Definitely the best value I could ever get in a vehicle. I paid $600, plus new tires and general upkeep and it keeps going fine.
Interior is nice.
Starts and runs great - not perfect - but it also never fails - love it!
Pretty quick for a car like this - I am still amazed by it's speediness when I need it to go!
Gets decent gas mileage (30-40mpg) - would probably do better if I wanted to waste the money on the miscellaneous EGR repairs.
