This Year's Model Updates:

The Accent GSi replaces the Accent GT this year. New front and rear fascias, and new engine mounts, which reduce engine vibration and harshness, are the only other changes to Hyundai's smallest car.

Pros:
  • One of the least expensive modes of transportation on the road. Hyundais are more reliable than you think.
Cons:
  • Interior upholstery can be unnatractive. Strange rear end.

  • NEVER AGAIN - 1998 Hyundai Accent
    By -

    This car is not worth the gas you put into it. At 70,000 miles, it totally fell apart. It would have cost more to fix it than what it was worth. The axles needed to be replaced. The engine block cracked. The exterior door handles broke off of it. I mean, really, the door handles?! The list goes on, but I don’t have enough characters to tell about each one. When it was working, it could barely go up the freeway ramp. It didnt like going above 50 mph. All around a piece of junk!

  • Not Happy (Throw away car) - 1998 Hyundai Accent
    By -

    This car only lasted me a year. I bought this car for $2,500 on a payment plan and on my last payment the transmission went out. It went forwards but not backwards. I wasted money. When I go to car menchanics they tell me its not worth fixing because the parts are too expensive and hard to find. I got oil changes and tuneups regurlary and it still broke down on me. Its hard to try and trade this car in because the dealerships want to only give you a couples of hundred dollars for this piece of garbage.
