1997 Hyundai Accent GT review from North America
"An overall decent car with a few but serious problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear shocks are completely shot.
The sunroof metal lip is rusted.
The car will "stumble" or hesitate when accelerating from a stop light.
The factory alarm will sometimes come on and off.
General comments?
This car gets good gas mileage of about 25mpg in city driving and about 34 mpg on the highway.
The handling, when the shocks are good, is quite good when taking corners or stopping.
