1997 Hyundai Accent GS review from North America
"Cheap to buy. Easy to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needs rear shocks.
O2 sensors need replacing.
Car pulls slightly to the left.
Driver's side latch broke, easily replaced.
General comments?
An excellent car, specially for the price I paid.
Mileage is 30-40 mpg.
Small power is helped by low weight.
Transmission is excellent, always in the right gear.
Interior is holding up very well.
I'll definitely buy another Hyundai.
