2000 Hyundai Accent GL review from North America
"Excellent buy overall, worth the investment, very good warranty package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have had an oil leak that is depositing oil on the top of the transmission. The service dept. technician says he can't figure out where it's coming from. We have taken it in twice for this, told the same each time, and each time they've injected a dye into the oil lines to see if they can detect it's point of origin. Also, we have had a problem since shortly after purchasing the car with it idling rough when stopped and have a foot on the brake. The problem is worsening, have taken it in several times only to be told this is common with these cars. I can't believe that it is OK for a car to idle like that for no fixable reason.
General comments?
I like the way the car handles.
It's been very good on gas.
Low in maintenance costs...etc.
Relatively comfortable ride, but could have a bit larger interior to create more leg room.
I am considering buying another as well, so long as I can find out what the cause of the problems that we are experiencing so I know what to watch for in another.
