2002 Hyundai Accent GSi review from North America

First of all this car was not our first choice we wanted the tiburon which we've heard is a better car. Within one month we had to have the spark plugs changed due to the car losing power when starting off in first gear, and often the engine light still will come on during accelleration. The acceleration is slow and often takes longer then nessasary to get to the speed you want to be at. The paint on these vehicles are the shittiest I've ever seen. The simplest thing will scratch this car and right down to the metal. I've seen better paint on my child's dinky cars. I've spoken with several people who own accents and are also not happy with the car. One day of driving around the city we kept our eyes open to see how many accents we could see that people had purchased and of the 2002 every one we had seen had a cracked windshield, and honestly we see about 20 of them this is not a good ratio. Our windshield has a big chip in it a little rock hit it, I've owned other vehicles before and that would not have happen and did not happen on any. of them!

The dealer that this car was purchased at (Saskatoon Hyundai - Canada) is not even interested in taking the car back therefore this car must not have have been worth even being on their lot in the very first place.

They would consider it if we put an an additional $4000 into the purchase of another one of their other lines of vehicle.
