1998 Hyundai Accent Coupe I from UK and Ireland - Comments

28th Mar 1999, 00:00

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Serious rattling at high speed, inconsistent petrol consumption - sometimes 30mpg, sometimes 15mpg doing the same journey.

General comments?

Good car - let down by poor image, horrible interior and use of low quality oil and parts when servicing. Oh yes... massive depreciation.

I agree! Hyundai servicing is expensive but they use crappy multigrade oil. I went to Halfords. £250 for a 30,000 service, 2 expensive tyres, front brakes and an MOT including £40 oil.

As for the car, the interior and fuel economy are pretty bad. But performance is surprising for a 1.3, especially an auto and the handling is fun too!

Hyundai cars tend to have problems with high speeds as the acceleration goes faulty on a lot of them.
