1999 Hyundai Accent GS 1.5 from North America
Summary:
A quality car for a small price
Faults:
The visor clip broke.
General Comments:
This is a great little car. All I have done on the car is routine maintenance and replaced the visor clip. I'm not sure that this really counts as a repair because I broke it on a very cold morning. This was the first or second year that Hyundai offered the 100,000 mile warranty and I think they got serious about building a quality car. At 200,000 miles, it does not use any oil. She does drive like a small car; the ride can be choppy. If I had my wish, it would be for more horsepower. However, the manual transmission utilizes all of the grunt available. I will buy another Hyundai if this one ever wears out.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Transmissions use transmission oil, not engine oil. Changing your oil every three thousand kilometers wouldn't benefit your tranny as much as you may hope. Sounds like the problem is between the steering wheel and the drivers seat. It may be beneficial to you to learn how to shift because you're the only one getting new transmissions. And a re-manufactured ANYTHING is never as good as new, that's just common sense.
