1997 Hyundai Accent XS review from South Africa
"Cheap 'n cheerful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox replaced under warranty, wasn't us, they had installed and run it as a demo with low oil in it.
Positive crankcase pressure valve faulty and no-one can get it out!! I've cracked the cam cover trying.
General comments?
Well, it's metallic green and we call it the sluglet....
