We bought this as a inexpensive first new car. Overall, I had thought it was ok...until we owned it a while. MPG was about 27/29. Prior to this year we had to repair the door handle, the key broke off in the trunk, brakes twice and engine stabilizers once (regular maint). Then, as soon as we got to 108k, the tranny started to act up. $350 later we found out an overdrive part had broken off inside and demolished it. Cost to repair $2500. Guy said he had to do the same thing to his daughters 01 last year. So, if you think this car will go 100k+ or more than 5-7 years without major problems, think again. I know I will before considering Hyundai.
Great used car buy

Looking for a good used car to commute with that was $6,000 or under with low mileage. Found this 5-speed with A/C, spoiler, as a trade-in (not even on the lot) with only 25,500 miles on it. Paid cash. I was a little apprehensive but the people I knew who owned a Hyundai said they were good cars. Well, they're right. A great little compact with plenty of pep. Fun to drive and not a bad looking car as a bonus.

I bought my Accent instead of renting a car when my primary car was being repaired. 2 years later I still have the Hyundai, have let several people in my family borrow the car and I have had nor heard no complaints. It has never required any repairs what-so-ever. It gets good gas mileage and is comfortable to drive even on long trips. The interior noise level is a bit high at freeway speeds and it is lacking horsepower, but I didn't buy it with any great expectations of luxury or performance. I am very pleased with the car overall. I highly recommend it for it's class of vehicle - Good, Solid, Economical transportation.
a lot of car for the money

Comfortable for a medium built person, remarkably quiet within 60mph, has all basic stuff: AC, CD, power windows and mirrors, interior trim is well done. Took it on a 1600miles ride, performed well, 36mpg, however, becomes unstable and noisy at speeds above 65-70mph. The 1.6l engine manual provides good acceleration, one has no problems at all merging onto highway, around 30- 32mpg in suburban comuting. It does not excel in any regard, but everything is done right, one can not expect more from this type of entry level car. If the reliability improves for the new 2001-2002 model it is definitely a better choice than a 3-4y old Civic or Corolla.
NOT A BAD CAR

Overall I got my money's worth but at 124,000 miles there's something wrong with my transmission that's around a grand to fix. I think the tranny's a big issue on this vehicle but it's reliable and although I'm not buying another I'm very satisfied with it.
