2000 Hyundai Accent L review from North America
"A piece of junk and crap service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I shouldn't have bought this car. The car is a year and half old and I'm driving a rental because it won't start. This is the second time this has happened (12000kms).
Last time the dealer had the car for 5 days, I had to call Hyundai Canada to get anything done. The dealer told me to rent a car if I wanted to get around, what am I making payments for?
The car has 31000kms on it and it leaks oil like crazy. When you're driving you can smell oil burning.
At 8000kms I had the rotors replaced because every time you pressed the brakes the steering would vibrate so bad.
General comments?
The car looks OK. Drives OK. But mechanically the car is junk, and the dealers and Hyundai don't care about you, they've already got their money.
I will never own another Hyundai again and I'm trying to sell this one. Take my word for it, spend the extra and get a Honda Civic. And if you have Hyundai now, I would get rid of it.
