2002 Hyundai Accent review from North America
"An overstated warranty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Vehicle pulls to the right on highway driving.
Passenger side door lock sticks on both inside and outside making it difficult and often impossible to unlock the door.
Gas mileage has not been as good as originally listed for city driving on this vehicle. Highway gas mileage has been much better.
General comments?
I purchased this vehicle based on the advertisements of "America's Best Warranty", however after being sent through the finance managers office at the dealership, I have strong apprehension of purchasing another Hyundai.
The advertisements make you believe that this vehicle comes with a 5 year/60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty which would lead you to believe that everything on the vehicle is covered. The finance manager tells you something different. He tells you that the Hyundai does not cover that many repairs and that you have to purchase separate coverage to be fully protected.
If this is the case why buy a Hyundai? Why not buy any vehicle if you have to spend additional money anyway to have the coverage and peace of mind.
