1999 Hyundai Accent E review from UK and Ireland
"Unsurpassed value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New front brakes on routine service.
Drivers window seal damaged.
General comments?
For such a cheap car, this is fantastic. The engine has enough poke to get you out of any trouble, vision is good all round, and there is sufficient feedback from the road to ensure a safe, but exciting drive. The gear shift is quite clunky, but accurate and robust.
I love the exterior styling, although it may be a little 'bubbly' for some tastes. The interior is basic, but perfectly functional, and easy to keep clean.
I am currently looking for a replacement car for my wife's Metro, and am ideally looking for another Accent. For the money, I don't think there's anything that comes close.
