1998 Hyundai Accent GL review from Singapore
"A good first car and recommended for young couples/families"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hissing sound from engine even when idle.
General comments?
The experience is based on a 100km trip in a rental car:
A quantum leap from predecessor, Excel! Good handling, easy steering and gear shift. Performance average but if you want to use it for work and play, it'll suffice. Pick up is good when pushed.
Recommended for young families (5 persons comfortably) or mature families (4 adults comfortably).
Only drawback is fuel consumption, very high for a 1.3l car

  | A ton of fun for an ounce of cash |
  | Could have been a good car, but fatally flawed |
