1998 Hyundai Accent review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing in particular.
General comments?
Although the car I had driven was a rental, it was the best small car I've experienced from a rental. The ride is comfortable, handling is OK, and responsive. The engine is a little bit noisy, but the cabin remains relatively quiet.
The only down side is that the steering jiggles nervously when push over 80mph. And you can tell the interior is made from cheap materials. Other wise it's a capable car and a heck of a lot better than a Geo Metro.
