2002 Hyundai Accent GS review from North America
"Step inside my Fundai.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Plastic breaks easily, carpet gets dirty quickly.
General comments?
For what I paid (which I bought used), this car has been a great deal. It never has left me stranded, always started up as long as the battery was good and gets great gas mileage with the 5-speed.
You can make your gas go even further when you put the car in neutral while coasting down hills with it; it rolls easily. It's now a beater, cosmetically, but this car goes and goes and goes... well, you get the point. Hyundai has been a good brand for me; I'd buy another one.
Just change the oil regularly, keep the fluids fresh.
With the stick, the car has a little more pep. I'd forgo the automatic version; it would be too slow. But the 5-speed is fun.
