1999 Hyundai Accent GSi review from North America
"Excellent choice. I love my accent. I love Hyundai"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing is gone bad with the car. It’s been working excellent since the day I bought it.
General comments?
I bought this car two years ago. When I got it, it has the air bag light on so I took it to the dealer and they say that nothing was wrong. That probably when the battery was changed the light turn on, so they reset it and that was it. I change the timing belts and pay for a tune up.
I used to live in Florida and the car was running spectacular. It is not the fastest car when you accelerate, but in my case I reach the 60mph (100Kmh) in about 10 seconds. I’ve taken this car up to 110mmh (170Kmh) and let go the wheel and the car kept and going straight for a long time.
I recently move to Hartford Connecticut so I drove my car for more the 1000 miles without any problems. I spend last winter here with snow, rain and all king of weather and I didn’t have any problems. Even though the tires are very thin the performance in snow was very good.
I’m 31 years old and I like the speed. This car has fulfill my expectations so far. My young brother is about to get his license so I’m going to take the car for brakes service and probably buy new tires and wider rims and give to him and most probably go for another Hyundai (The sonata most likely)
I used to have a VW Jetta and I didn’t like it at all. This car is been superior by far.
I really don’t understand the comments of other drivers. I guest I’m very lucky or a very good driver because for me there is nothing, but good things about this car. I love it and I hope my brother enjoy it us much as I do.
