1996 Hyundai Accent L - 10th Anniversery Edition review from North America

Driver Side will not unlock with key (when bought)

Brake pads need replacing (when bought)

Minor Cosmetic damage inside and outside (when bought)

Was looking for an inexpensive fuel efficient used car, and found it.

It isn't flashy, it isn't gonna impress the girls, it isn't gonna haul all your stuff to a new apartment, and it isn't gonna win any street races.

However, without oil change or tune up it is getting 29.4 mpg, it has good pep, and switches gears smoothly (usually at about 3500 rpm).

Handling is top notch, could be fun with a bigger engine.

Other than the door lock, which these reviews warned me about, it is pretty functional. The brakes pads need replacing, but as it only has 49k miles on it, and I didn't see any complaints about the brakes in other reviews, I am assuming (and hoping) the pads are all that needs work.

Passed smog (required in NV) 14 months and 6500 miles ago, so not anticipating any troubles there.

One thing however, it is fuel injected and if you have the habit from other cars of giving it gas when you start it, it will stall, and your next few start ups will be a bit rough.

All in all, satisfied with the car for what I paid ($1650 from a charitable organization.
