2002 Hyundai Accent GS review from North America
"It's a good throw away car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well - 2002, bought it in 2004 - it was still under half the manufacturers warranty - both power window tracks broke - had to have the 02 sensor replaced - TP sensor.
Now at 54000 miles on it the transmission needs to be rebuilt - This is under normal driving conditions and I did have my car in overdrve 99% of the time I drove it. I don't care how cheap the car is - you shouldn't have to be replacing the transmission at 54K miles.
General comments?
Positive notes - it is great on gas - but there are other cars that are just as cheap and good on gas, that don't have as many problems.
