2000 Hyundai Accent GL review from North America
"Definitely a wonderful get-the-most-for-your-money stylish little car that will repay you over again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only things that have went wrong are that the interior light and passenger rear side light went out. I took it in to my dealer and they happily and very nicely fixed it the same day.
General comments?
The car is exceptional on gas. We get about 300 to 320 miles to a tank of gas, and it's only a ten gallon tank!
However, I feel it is a bit too small, considering my husband is 6'2.
The engine is wonderful and runs smoothly, but it is not very powerful.
The 6 speaker sound system is great along with the CD player.
I love the fact that it comes with power windows, locks and mirrors for a fairly cheap price. You can't buy a standard cavalier for the price of the fully loaded Accent GL.
The rear spoiler I have also adds a bit of sport.
The warranty is also wonderful, but I have to admit I have never used it due to the wonderful upkeep of the engine.
The air conditioner is also extremely cold and the heater is extremely hot when you want it to be.
I don't know about everywhere else, but from where I come from (Florida), the Hyundai dealers are wonderful and willing to help. Especially Buchanan Jenkins Hyundai in Jacksonville, FL. Id recommend them to anybody.
This car is wonderful for the city, as it gets wonderful gas mileage and is very zippy to get in and out of places with its handy-dandy overdrive button, but is not a good choice for people who live in mountain or very hilly areas. That tends to overwork it.
I'd like for it to have a center console though.
It looks very stylish inside and out and comes in very nice colors.
I could say things about this car all day long, but I'll sum it up that this is a superb car for people who are looking for a very stylish, economical, get-the-most-for-your-money type of car. :)
