Used Hyundai Accent for Sale in El Paso, TX

I had this car as a long-term rental (1 mo, 3 days), and put around 2,200 miles on it. So I feel comfortable with my thoughts and opinions, and I'll ignore the factors that are the optional rental car features (poor alignment, bald tires, iffy brakes, blown speakers), although this car only has 21k miles on it. I've been in Hyundais before and had a positive opinion of the brand. Aside from the impossible-to-see-blind-spot Azure, each Hyundai I've known is a great vehicle. Except this one. Lets start with with the pros: - Efficient, I was getting 50+mpg cruising down the highway. Active ECO setting gave me another 5 mph everywhere, which was kinda nice. Without cruise control, because it wasn't included :/ - Powerful. Like if you mash the gas it will actually go. And pretty fast for the car class and engine size as well. Even with the 'active ECO' mode on. - Space. Surprisingly roomy, lots of useful nooks and crannies for stuffing stuff into and the trunk is massive. But that's probably because it lacks a spare tire. Well that was short. Lets do the cons: - Transmission. I've never felt more instances of 'stalling out' as I did with this car. You either mash it and the car eventually gets you into 2nd and 3rd gears, or you lightly press the gas and wonder if and when your next gear will even show up. Strange indeed. Also, it is way too easy to shift from Drive into Reverse. Way too easy. If a passenger (or driver, honestly it's not hard to do) just bumps the gear change forward you will be changing gears. Be aware of this. - Ride. After 2,200 miles, I failed to find a road the car was comfortable on. The suspension just wants to sulk around, the steering wants to lag through turns, and the car certainly thanks you for taking it really really easy through any twisty sections. The seats are abhorrent. At least they are easy to adjust into another uncomfortable position! I didn't sit in the backseat, but apparently they aren't as bad. It might be a judgement aided by Jose Cuervo (Yes Mom, I was D.D.) I will say that I had little tread on the tires and a badly needed alignment, so perhaps I didn't have the best car to experience the drive-train properly. - Quality/interior. The driver side door struggled to stay closed or close properly, which is ridiculous for any vehicle on the market. The interior was the cheapest design and feature set I've has since my first car: a beater 93 Grand Am. At least there was an accessible AUX port, but that was the only creature comfort that puts this car over a Gen 3 Civic. The air settings will drive you insane. I can walk my dog (two pees and a poo) faster than this car defrosts on a 25 degree morning. The fan squeaks like a purring cat with Emphysema, though not as bad at higher settings. I don't know why the A/C automatically kicks on when its 36 degrees out and the heat has been running for 4 minutes, but this is what happens. And if you turn the A/C off, turn the fan off and then switch the fan right back on? Yeah the A/C kicks back on too. Even if you are on max heat setting. -__- - Safety. As others have pointed out, the headlights are horribly aligned. But beyond that, the road-holding is a joke. I felt like I would spin out driving around cloverleaf interchanges, even at 30 mph. Also, if you drive in a sunny area, you will DESPISE this vehicle. See, the top of the dashboard has a textured material, and its reflection throws a translucent pattern across the entire windshield. So everything in front of you has a strange 'textured effect' and an awful glare. Polarized sunglasses makes this worse, as the reflection is even more obvious. If you are unlucky enough to be driving over a body of water on a bridge on a sunny day, you are seriously driving blind. - Looks. This is a downright uninspiring car. I don't really care what I look like in a car (because I'm sure I look like a fool), but stepping out the door every morning to see this definitely failed to lift my spirits. It's not a Honda Fit smile. No Chevy Sonic grin. Not even a Nissan Versa inquisition! Just a face that goes 'bleeeehhhh lets get some McDoubles and drink Natural Light this morning' Verdict: I'd probably buy this car for someone I didn't like. And I feel bad that it's your rental car.
