Hyundai rocks - 1996 Hyundai Accent
By herb - September 11 - 8:25 pmThis vehicle has been low maintenance...aside from typical wear and tear...brakes, tires, etc. Gets about 35 miles per gallon. Very reliable. Owned for 12 years

Fun to drive - 1996 Hyundai Accent
By valpak - June 7 - 5:01 pmBought new. No problems for first 8 years then things started to go wrong. both door handles have broken off. I have loved the car for the most part. I am considering buying a 2008 accent. It is a great buy for the money, roomy, fun to drive, great gas mileage. What more does someone want! We must have liked our 96 if we are looking to buy a 2008, plus a warranty that is great. If you are thinking of buying a Hyundai it is a great buy and you wont be sorry!

Its so easy - 1996 Hyundai Accent
By Dame Carter - February 19 - 10:32 pmTruth is the car uses a mitsubishi engine if people didnt know and its so easy to to customize, its not a car people normally assume is fast so when persons realize whoa thats a hyundai, its like yea fast isnt it. Its cheaper than alot of other cars to maintain and cheap to boost if your interested in speed.

Piece of crap - 1996 Hyundai Accent
By ptlytch07 - September 20 - 3:05 pmThis car is a complete piece of junk. I purchased this vehicle from a private seller and it had 103,000 miles on it. It seemed to be in great shape and run good, but after only a few hundred miles its true colors began to show. The engine finally blew and I replaced it with another identical engine from a junkyard car and had the exact same problems. I was fortunate enough to sell the car while it was actually running. I have had many cars in my lifetime and this was probably the biggest piece of crap of all time! Dont even think about buying one!

Reliable and Cheap - 1996 Hyundai Accent
By Richars2 - August 9 - 11:09 amSimple car, no frills, few options. This was before the 10 year 10k power train warranty. Ive had no problems with it until it hit its 11th birthday - then the trans began to slip. Overall its been a good purchase and has been quite reliable. Cheap car, cheap to drive. Trans was always a little rough in shifting. Seats are average at best.

Ode to my Hyundai - 1996 Hyundai Accent
By geegee - February 11 - 2:00 amMy little car that could. I have had it for almost 8 years from new, drove GREAT! for the first 5 years, had two major repairs after that (when it rains it pours) engine head, and computer went out, but no small problems at all! couldnt bring myself to trade in because no other car could match it for veratility, or gas mileage. I got 33MPG on mixed driving. I will miss you!

1996 model better than new model - 1996 Hyundai Accent
By bosou - August 5 - 2:00 amThis car is excellent for short distant commute. I put 43k on milage on this car since 1996 and still in shiny, new, excellent conditition. Longest drive - Las Vegas, longest single drive without turning off engine - 7 hours. Fuel consumption is excellent - about 37 - 40 on highway (on economy gear option).
