2007 Hyundai Accent GS 3 Door Comfort review from North America
"Best Car in this price range"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There are only two things that have issues in this car, both very minor. The gas pedal creeks a little, because I was having to drive this car to the job site. (Dirty joints)
Master Cylinder cap seal leaks.
Both dealer repaired under warranty.
General comments?
I needed something more reliable than my old Buick was.
My salesman (a good friend) saw me looking at GLS sedans, and because he had received a call from my sister and her husband, he knew that one car in the lot was perfect. Enter the 2007 3 door. It was one of only 3 in a 500 mile radius. And one of the first off the line, (pre-strike built).
It handles better than any car I have ever owned, with the 5 speed, goes 0-60 in about 9 seconds flat. (A little punchier now, with intake on it.)
The interior looks more like that of a car 3,000 dollars more, and the seats cup your body like some sports cars I have driven.
Excellent gas mileage, and the CVVT makes the car a smooth accelerator from 1500 rpm (after clutch release) all the way to rev limit at 6,750 rpm.
