Key strengths: Fuel economy
Areas for improvement: Poor paint adhesion
Since I've had the car, I've only had some minor problems with it.
For one, there was a bolt of some sort that connects the stick to the actual transmission. When I was driving down the street one day, I went to shift into 2nd gear and the stick was all "floppy". I managed to get it home, where it was picked up the next day by the dealer to be repaired.I tried to rotate my own tires one day and one of the bolts on the left front tire had been put on incorrectly. I had to pretty much "muscle" this bolt to get it off. I don't think this is an issue with all the Accents however.
Sometimes on left hand turns on an incline, there is kind of a "cracking" noise when the car comes out of the turn and bottoms out. I don't know what this is but I am thinking of getting it looked at very soon.
I took the car to a self service car wash once where they have those high pressured hoses. As I was spraying the back bumper clean, some of the paint (about the size of a quarter) chipped off. I touched it up only to find that the warranty covers paint chips.
I also noticed that the car "dents" easily. I was involved in a hit and run accident and when I tried to take the fender off myself to fix it, I noticed that the front quarter panel is very "flimsy". Regardless, I couldn't get that stupid dent out!!!
I think this car overall is a great buy. Mine is blue and it has a sunroof, spoiler, and mudguards.
It's got a very "sporty" look to it, even though it's probably one of the least powerful cars out there; 92HP. I figured out my MPG the first time I took a long distance trip and it came out to about 34MPG! That's great. It's not very powerful and sometimes you have to downshift to go up a hill, however I don't think the car was intended to frequent the tracks of the Indy 500!
Overall I'd say it's a great little car. I love mine, I just wish there weren't so many "postmarket imperfections" with it. The running costs for Hyundai Accent 1.5 liter Manual are low
