2006 Hyundai Accent 3 Door Hatchback review from Australia and New Zealand
"Value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
A far cry from 1990s Hyundai workmanship. I am very impressed with its interior finish; although it is plastic everywhere, it doesn't feel cheap and nasty.
1.6 liter engine provides adequate power for day to day use.
Fuel economy of 7.5L/100km which is very reasonable.
Very happy with the MP3/CD stereo system. Steering wheel audio controls are extremely handy.
Plastic interior is however, prone to scratches.
Heated wing mirrors are perfect for cold mornings.
This is my first Hyundai. I am very happy so far.
