Love my GS - 2000 Hyundai Accent
By jimh - August 24 - 4:33 pmBought 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 pmThis 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!

Great Little Car - 2000 Hyundai Accent
By Nadine - September 9 - 9:15 amI purchased this car five years ago when it was five years old and I havent had any major problems, just minor repairs. The car is great on gas and the repairs I have done have been cheap. My only complaint is that the car is gutless and has a hard time making it up hills. This was my first car and I would purchase this car again!

Americas best warranty? Bull! - 2000 Hyundai Accent
By northArrow - June 28 - 12:28 pmI could get over the small and cramped cabin and complete lack of power thanks to the amazing fuel mileage, but my tolerance for this car ended the same day the 5 year bumper-to- bumper warranty did. We always did the scheduled maintenance on it, but minor problems were always cropping up (these were covered by the warranty). However, once the vehicle turned 5 years old, major issues appeared, ranging from loud whining noises to shifting problems and constant brake replacements. After several months of $1200+ repairs, the final straw occurred when the engine caught fire leaving my wife stranded on the highway. (not covered) At 6 years old and approx 80K miles we finally got rid of it

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

Worst car I ever purchased!!!! - 2000 Hyundai Accent
By pamr - June 4 - 8:12 pmI bought it new, and always had problems, it burns oil (not a leak) i have to check it every week. The hood hinge broke, it doesnt shift right, even the clock and radio are broken. I wouldnt recommend this car to anyone. And the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty is crap! Anything that goes wrong, they say "thats not covered". The parts are expensive and for most of them you have to purchase from the dealer.

Owned one for 9 years without problems - 2000 Hyundai Accent
By vaskar - May 15 - 11:10 amI bought new.This is my third car.I am inlove with it till now. If you make the services on the time,it will never leave you on the road. Until now,the counter says: 172000 klm and it goes on. I havent until now any serious problems. I have change a set of clutch disc at 110000 klm and four shock absorbers at 100000 klm. But in my opinion, this is normal for a car that keep mooving. I take care my car, so it takes care of me. I know that I have an ordinary car but now Im sure that this is a really good car. Its a great value for money.

Worst car ever! - 2000 Hyundai Accent
By KMdriver - April 29 - 10:32 pmThis car has been nothing but trouble since day one. My mother bought me the car when i was in highschool and the oil was burning, so the valve cover gasket was replaced. oil continued to burn so we replaced all gaskets... oil then magically disappeared. no spots on the ground and no residue on the engine, and is still doing this 3 years later. at about 100000 both CV axles busted, gas mileage went downhill, the AC fan in the cab broke, the engine now makes an odd whining noise and i cant seem to figure out why. car smells like mildew every time it rains, but i cant find any wetspots. breaks squeak nonstop even if new. I will never ever buy a Hyundai again this car is a living nightmare.

Why I hate my Hyundai - 2000 Hyundai Accent
By Jacqui - February 14 - 5:47 pmSunroof leaks, heater broke,replaced rear wiper motor twice in 1 year ($400each), the brakes completely and calipers? twice in 2 years. I have also replaced the exhaust, the clutch which when it broke damaged the transmission so badly i had to replace both. Also goes through oil like crazy. Spend about $3500 per year on repairs. Doors swing back and slam on your legs as well. Oh loses power trying to go up even small hills. Also bought for $10000 was worth $2500 within 2 years. I hate this car. it is currently in for repairs again. Horrible car. would be great if it ran. Ever. Not worth it even for free, use the money you save on repairs to go on a vacation
