1999 Hyundai Accent GL review from North America
"Would not buy again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When the car had less than 3000 miles on it, it started to rust.
After 3 years the fan went and exhaust pipe had to be fixed.
With the second set of brakes, new rotors were needed.
At 4 years a new alternator was needed.
And at the 5th year, the oil pan was rusted through, the exhaust manifold fixed and the transmission went.
General comments?
Although the interior of the car was great and easy to upkeep and there was a lot of space in front and back for passengers, it seemed as if I was constantly putting money into the car.
