2003 Hyundai Accent GS review from North America
"Keeper for 5 years - Saved a lot of money, but don't expect it to last forever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no problems with this car so far. The trunk is surprisingly large for a hatchback, but the tether strap for a baby seat has to run through the trunk (at an angle to be attached to the inside of the trunk) taking away a lot of space and making it impossible to store any large cargo. That's what I get for only being able to afford a 2 door.
General comments?
The car is quite light compared to our Neon and blows around quite a bit in bad weather. It doesn't have very much pick up, but I did manage to get a speeding ticket while testing it out so it's not that bad. The seats are quite comfortable unless you're in the back seat where there is no leg space.
