Accent is the best! - 1997 Hyundai Accent
By ELISSANB - July 30 - 2:00 amThe 4 dr Accent was the best vehicle I have owned. It is so much fun to drive and has never given me any problems beyond routine maintenance. I have had my car for 4 years, and it will be hard to part with it.

Value for Money - 1997 Hyundai Accent
By mkarias - July 17 - 2:00 amI bought my car in Sept 2002 with 33K. Although it will be a year, I only have about 37.5K. I mostly use it to drive to the bus stop. For a second car or commuter car, this is perfect. The only problems I had was the "check engine" light which the dealer had to replace the computer module. Had to go 3x before it was finally fixed. Great gas mileage. It is small so for a family, it is no good. I tried putting my 2 kids child seats and it is tight. No power though when trying to accelerate especially if you have AC on.

Great Value Car! - 1997 Hyundai Accent
By nevadahorn - June 30 - 2:00 amPlain and Simple. This is a point A to point B car. No frills... but its reliability has been tremendous. I have put 76K miles on my Hyundai in 6 years - and I have never had one mechanical problem with the car yet (knock on wood.) While friends have struggled at times with pricier and nicer cars, my Accent just goes and goes. And when you factor in that I paid 8K for it, its been a great value.

value for the bucks - 1997 Hyundai Accent
By santamc - March 2 - 2:00 amhuge upgrade from the old "econo-boxes" of the 70s & 80s. biggest difference is the ride comfortable seats, good suspendtion (sp.). no power steering is tough at times. I have over 135.000 miles on 97 and no oil consumption! good car for the money!

its been a pleasure... - 1997 Hyundai Accent
By oh-one - October 6 - 2:00 amMy 97 accent manual hatchback L has babied me more than my mother. i owned good ole L-Swift Mckay from mile zero to mile 103,000. i reluctantly gave him up after 4yrs and 10mos of unadulterated dependability and perseverance.
