2003 Hyundai Accent GLS review from Indonesia
"Average"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My air intake and solenoid actuator blew out at 119,000km. Air intake is made by thermosetting plastic. I called Hyundai service; they were coming in 1 hour to my location (very good service). Then I asked them why this happened; they have no idea. About the cost, they ask me for Rp. 3,750,000 (USD 400) then I asked for the disc, they gave me disc 25%.
The new air intake is made of aluminum, not plastic. Looks they have known of this problem before, but they didn't want to recall this spare part.
General comments?
During my usage:
1. Fuel is quite economical
2. Spare parts price is good
3. Service center is very helpful
