Easy and fun car to drive
Dash is always a problem; cracks easily unless covered and gearbox problems (mostly 3rd and 4th gear), but overall it's cheap to fix or buy for this car.
Still own it 25 years later and it still runs like a dream.

Excellent Car.. However avoid it if you are not ready to pay the fuel bills! ;)
After 10 years of being driven on the Maltese Roads;
3 New Sets of Tyres (Bridgestone Potenza Tyres)
1 Complete New Clutch Kit
Bellows
Wheel Adjustments
Ball Joints
Original Radio had to be Replaced.
Well after owning this car for 10 years (11 years to be exact hehe:P) I can say that this car is truly rembarkable and very reliable I would say. It has a 1.5 litre petrol engine, and it really pulls off very strongly! In fact if you decide to drive with 40 km/h on fifth gear, the car just takes it happy and easily without having to do a down-change to 4th. In general Hyundai have created a very good car ;)
My only complaints are about the way the seats are manufactered, they are manufactured from hard materials and so if you spend a day of driving I usually end up of back sore. The other complain is about the Fuel Consumption.. since nowadays the fuel prices have risen, a car like this is expected to be really hard on the pocket, considering that it consumes about Lm 15 petrol a week.

Good car for the price paid
At 10,000 km had problems with engine temperature display - loose connection.
Problems with motorised radio antenna after 13 months - Dealer replaced free of charge.
Good overall performance.

I see the Accent as almost the best performing car in its own class, also having a good hp/bhp ratio
It consumes a fairly good amount of fuel.
Certain models are not even imported here in Malta.
No diesel engines are available in Malta for the Hyundai Accent.
The performance of this car is well over that for other cars that I have driven in my life. It has good acceleration, comfortable seats, is spacious, and has very good handling.
However I feel that considering the price for petrol here in Malta, it is a bit expensive to run.
