2000 Hyundai Accent GL review from North America
"Best Economy Car; great gas mileage, great price, very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Now, I know the Accent is not a luxury dream car by any means, but it is a good, reliable, little car!
I have owned my Accent it for one year, and the only maintenance I have taken it in for are oil changes.
Although the Accent is a small car with a small engine, I have no problems pulling out into heavy traffic, accelerating, or passing in heavy traffic.
I have never been involved in an accident in the car, however, I did rear end a Chevy Blazer going 5 MPH. My front bumper hit the trailer hitch, and all it did was leave a small imprint - no dent or ding, just a paint scratch.
My job requires me to drive many different cars every day. I would pick the Accent over similar "economy and compact" cars (Neon, Metro,Mirage) and cars in considered "intermediate class" (Sunfire, Cavalier, Escort) any day of the week!! The Accent is much quieter and rides much smoother than almost any of the aforementioned cars.
The Accent is my first car, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great little zippy car at a great price!
