My '01 Elantra was still in great shape cosmetically and mechanically when I sold it to my sister (brakes at 90% front, 85% rear for example) so I have no reason to think a '06 Accent would not last 4-1/2 years longer than that if it is maintained properly. And I just saw a 1995 or 1996 Accent the other day--looked quite good, at least on the outside. The reason I appreciate ... Read More...

The average buyer keeps his/her car for far less time than 10 years so yes, resale value is important to most consumers. But more importantly, good luck driving that Accent in 10 years. See many 1996 Accents around? Neither do I. Read More...

Honda Fit v. Hyundai Accent

Re: this is ENKA [enka]

Hi Enka, I'm sure you already know, being a car afficianado that looks are purely subjective. However, I completely disagree with you on the comment that Honda engineers spent very little time on the car, and I am not just saying this because it has the little "H" symbol on both ends. The attention to detail in the interior is amazing. All the controls are located ... Read More...

Hey this is Enka. 2007 Hyundai accent coupe has better look than the honda fit. Honda fit shows that honda engineers or desighners didnt spend much time on Fit because it doesnt look any speacial. But Hyundai spend lots of time to make the new accent look great interior and exterior. Honda still has the same interior since 1996 civic just a lil bit changes same old ... Read More...

Confused!! Replace entire exhaust system?

Written by: geepers21 on Nov 13, 2004 03:38 PM

I noticed my car started sounding louder so I decided to take it in. I have a 1996 Hyundai Accent with 33,000 miles and brought it into my dealership. I was told by the Hyundai mechanic that I need to replace the entire exhaust system. The Hyundai mechanic showed me the exhaust system and how it was all rusted. Upon taking it to a well-known muffler shop for a second ... Read More...

Are Accents reliable?

Written by: sculder on Jul 05, 2001 06:07 PM

I have found an automatic, 4 door 1996 Hyundai Accent with 46000 miles on it for $2400, and I have many questions regarding Hyundai. My dad says that Hyundai isn't a good company, and their cars aren't reliable. Is Hyundai a company that you can trust? Are they reliable? Is this a good deal, because I need a cheap car that won't let me down and doesn't need much maintenance. ... Read More...

Yep, it's Norway njbongo. (Btw. "Mai 17" is also our constitutional day... so the flag fitted nicely on my Mai 17 posting there. 8-) I guess there're smaller engines on the Accents in Norway than US. Only 1.3L, not 1.5L anymore... The 1.5L was only imported until modellyear 1996, which really is a shame. My 1.3L with an automatic is quite slooow to fire up, 15.3sec ... Read More...
