What a piece of junk

Constantly breaking down. Water pump, clutch, power steering, window seals, window cranks. You get what you pay for!

sux, period. What else can you say. We needed a car and this was the least we could spend on 4 moving wheels at the time.

Hyundai is a big mistake

I made the mistake of buying a Hyundai Accent brand new with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. At 40,000 miles, the entire car just fell apart.I spent over $2,000 repairing the car in six months.A go-cart is more powerful and reliable than any Hyundai. Plus the resale value of this car makes it a horrible investment. I recently purchased a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am and am very satisfied.I feel sorry for anyone that just bought a Hyundai.

Nothing but problems. This car really put a bad taste in my mouth toward all Hyundai vehicles. I would never buy another one.

Vehicle skids awfully .Brakes dont work when you are starting off down a slope. Cannot climb upslopes or hills. Engine starts to heat up . Other things are ok except when u put it to test for extremems.
