1999 Hyundai Accent GLS 1.5

Summary:

A passion to its owner

Faults:

Generally the mechanical strength is satisfactory and I didnt experience any failures, but had the following minor problems; noisy gear-changing sometimes; (only when hurried-up).

Front-right shock absorber (which was manufactured in Turkey) had an oil leak because of a crack when the total distance counter showed 22.000kilometers.

General Comments:

This car is a polite looking sedan as well as having a sportive external view. Performance is the most considerable positive feature with it. Its light chassis (930kg) is carried by the power-full 95hp engine. The performance progressed even to a better status as it's engine oil was refreshed more frequently (I did this every 3.000km, but NOT 10.000km as routinely recommended)

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1999 Hyundai Accent GLS 1.5

Summary:

A pleasure to drive

Faults:

I had only minor problems like a rusted electrical mirror adjustment switch, or a broken windshiled water pump. No other faults up to now.

Engine (or A/C) makes a strange noise in some rpms, but it is not a big problem.

General Comments:

I love my car. It is very easy to drive, quick in city traffic (under 100 Km/h). Has a pretty small turning radius which makes it very easy to handle in crowded and narrow streets. A real city car...
