1999 Hyundai Accent review from North America
"OK purchase, but won't be repeated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight, taillights and tag lights have been replaced over a dozen times all together.
Now, my dashboard lights come and go as they please. I have had this checked out many times and everyone tells me that they can't see a problem.
The brakes click when coming to a complete stop.
There is a slight whistling noise when I accelerate.
General comments?
While there have been no major problems (yet) the electrical problems are a nuisance.
The car is easily dented and the paint scratches very easily.
I am impressed with the way the car handles in bad weather, even though I have to add weight to the trunk in the winter time.
