    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.

  • What a piece of junk - 1997 Hyundai Accent

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

  • Never again - 1997 Hyundai Accent

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

  • Hyundai is a big mistake - 1997 Hyundai Accent
    By -

    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.
