2001 Hyundai Accent GS review from North America
"It left a sour taste in my mouth like old sushi"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car seems to have a hard time gathering power and shifting when the overdrive is turned off.
I had to have the O2 sensor replaced more than 3 times already.
My tires wore very badly within 3 months requiring multiple alignments.
If you plan on going over 55 miles per hour plan on having your head vibrated off your shoulders.
The steering in this car is extremely choppy and sharp, like driving a go cart.
The exhaust is loud and very noisy at 4000 rpms.
To go from 0 to 60 miles per hour seemed to take the take my car at least one hour screaming between 4000 and 5500 rpm.
The cars brake pedal had to be mashed completely to the floor for the car to go into drive.
General comments?
I would never consider buying another Korean automobile ever again!
