2004 Hyundai Accent GL 4 DR review from North America
"Cheap, noisy transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattles from numerous locations and the headlights cannot be adjusted to provide adequate illumination.
General comments?
This car is attractive due to its price, but buyer beware. The cost of insuring this car is expensive as it carries a very high insurance symbol. This will offset any savings in fuel over a mid-sized car.
The car developed rattles in the doors, rear panels, overhead light, dashboard, and trunk area after a few thousand miles. New rattles arise regularly.
There are no horizontal adjustment for the headlights that an owner can perform.
Tires are cheap and too small for the car. Body roll is horrific.
