  Love my GS - 2000 Hyundai Accent
  By jimh - August 24 - 4:33 pm

  Bought new as a drive-to-work car. Had 2 minor problems long ago-throttle sensor and driver window motor. Fast fixes under warranty. Ive treated it well and it has returned the favor. This is not a race car nor an SUV so you cant abuse it. I suspect this is where most oil and other problems come from. Changed oil every 3-5K, the timing belt at 45K service. Clutch pedal throwout bearing started minor chattering at 65K. Warranty covered and dealer did clutch (not needed but did it while warranty covered disassembly and reassembly). Wont set records but accelerates just fine. 33 mpg city, 36- 43mpg highway depending on grade of gas. Age is setting in but it is still strong. Never leaked.

  Love it! Its like my baby - 2000 Hyundai Accent
  By Pam - September 16 - 2:00 pm

  This car is a blast to drive. I bought it used with 116k miles, have had it for 3 years and its still going strong. Only a few maintenance issues here and there but can make long distant drives fine with higher miles! Although my car does not have a rpm gauge on the dash, I learned to drive it by ear. Its my baby and i love it so much!

  Bought another one! - 2000 Hyundai Accent
  By Judy - June 9 - 12:35 pm

  I bought my Accent new for a 36 mile each way commute to work outside the city and it never let me down in 5 years. When the transmission started making an odd sound at 80,000 miles, the dealer replaced it in 2 days without a quibble. I drove it in all weather conditions at freeway speeds daily. I enjoyed it so much we just bought a brand new Sonata and my husband inherited the Accent for a work car. It has over 100,000 miles and is still running fine.

  My Best Car Ever - 2000 Hyundai Accent
  By Miss Dee - April 23 - 3:46 pm

  I brought this car brand new, it now has 147,000 miles and still running. With gas prices nowadays I can not complain at 33 mpg. I am currently looking for a 2008 but .. Hmm I love my car and dont want to sell or trade in. I guess Ill keep it for one more year.

  Fantastic Little Car - 2000 Hyundai Accent
  By Marshall - October 19 - 10:47 pm

  reliable, wonderful mileage (37 HWY, 30 CTY). puchase w/out CD, PWR windows, locks, mirrors, cruise control-minor factors. overall, great buy. good design. spacious trunk. MOON ROOF. decent acceleration. 62,000 miles, $4,200. great car for the money. i dont like the steering wheel (personal preference: i like to steer from the bottom). minimal body damage, easy oil change, good tires. bad sound system, but i bought a new one to put in. good design. ill never buy another american car. i absolutely love it. interior is a little ugly, but i can deal. i suggest you buy this car, its cheap, reliable, pretty, fuel efficient (i fill up every 10 days, and i commute 30 miles to work every day).

  I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO GET ONE! - 2000 Hyundai Accent
  By Erika - February 23 - 11:21 am

  The 2000 Accent GL 4 door/automatic was the first used car Ive bought, but its been the most RELIABLE! Bought it with 45K, now it has 70K on it. I love it so much! Its fun to drive, and more reliable than any of the new vehicles weve ever bought... maybe thats because its a foreign- made car. Those Koreans really know how to make cars! Hyundai (along with Toyota, Honda, and Mitsubishi) knows how to make American automakers look like garbage! I think Ill do all of my car-buying with Hyundai now. Ive been so pleased with their customer service when the seat belt locked up. It wasnt under factory warranty at that point, but they fixed it under the warranty anyway.

  This car is awesome - 2000 Hyundai Accent
  By Mike B - September 10 - 11:57 am

  My 2000 Accent has 176,000 miles on it and has no problems. Runs excellent to this day. Great gas mileage, fun to drive, roomy for a sub-compact car. I cant complain. I love it.

  Great car for the money! - 2000 Hyundai Accent
  By The reseller - October 9 - 2:00 am

  This car is excellent in just about every way. I have to try the new tires some of you suggested. It helps to be going downhill but the car moves right along. I have no complaints. I bought it for the gas milage, not the horsepower. (obviously) Car looks much better than the older ones. Great inside and out.

  My Red Rocket - 2000 Hyundai Accent
  By sdholly5 - May 27 - 2:00 am

  Just surprised at the avg. rating of 5.8. I inherited this from my daughter (had to have a firebird). No major problems so far (first 45,000 miles). Any other issues have been taken care of by the dealership and they have been great. I wish a little more power, but I sacrifice that for great mpg. I wish cruise was an option but not for mine. No knocks, little more road noise then higher priced cars but the warranty is so super. I have thought about other cars but cannot convince myself to get rid of this gem. I highly recommend this car

  I WOULD BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI! - 2000 Hyundai Accent
  By DAVID HUARACHAS - April 20 - 2:00 am

  I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MY CAR. IT WAS DIRT CHEAP AND ALMOST NEW. THE ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS THE SMALL TIRES BUT A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS FOR BIGGER RIMS AND TIRES AND SHES PERFECT. I AM A BMW OWNER AND I KNOW ABOUT SHIFTING, HANDLING, PERFORMANCE WHEN I DRIVE A CAR. IT DOES ALL VERY VERY WELL. ITS BEEN 4-5 MONTHS IT RUNS PERFECT, NO PROBS WITH ANYTHING. I WAS GOING FOR VARIOUS YR 2K ENTRY CARS LIKE THE FORD FOCUS, PROTEGE,COROLA, ETC.. I TEST DROVE THEM ALL AND THE ACCENT WAS SUPRISINGLY BETTER IN ALL ASPECTS! REAT DEAL. I WAS SICK OF MY BMWS SUCKING ALL MY HARD EARNED SAVINGS MONTHLY IN MAINTENANCE & REPAIR! HYUNDAI PARTS ARE A WELCOME CHANGE!
