1998 Hyundai Accent Si review from UK and Ireland
"Well built, quick, cheap to run and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket, but this was due to previous owner. He dropped a small screw in the bore through the spark pug hole. He had to remove the head to retrieve it and put the head back on using the same gasket.
Anti-roll bar mounts rusted badly.
General comments?
This car is a pocket rocket it is seriously nippy,.
The handling is very good as mine is on 16 inch rims, though it could do with a strut brace to control yaw within the body.
The interior is in excellent condition.
It is a very comfortable car with very good headroom.
