    4 Stars I'm scottish with a Korean Accent. Review with images 25/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Spacious and good looking exterior. Also good handling.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Interior is a bit shoddy!!!

    Right, with uni, a job and a child, it was time to get my own car. There was just no way that sharing my mum’s ford KA was feasible anymore. So, in June 2004 I dragged my long suffering dad along to help me buy my first car. It had been a long time coming. I was 17 when I passed my test and being nearly 20 I thought it about time. I figured out that I had a “spare” £100 per month to throw around, it would just have been spent on junk anyway and with my dad agreeing to pay the insurance my maximum expenditure was around £4000. Searching. Before dragging my poor old daddy around to actually buy ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, reliable and easy to drive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Steamy windows

    20th December 2002 is a day that is etched in my memory, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the elation I felt when I heard those fateful words ‘you’ve passed’. I’m referring to my driving test, of course! Passing (first time) absolutely made my day and I was still on a high five days later when my husband passed me my Christmas present to open. Although I was delighted with the book he’d bought me, I was a little surprised that it was my only present. Still, the book was an excellent choice, I was very happy with it, so imagine how ecstatic I was when he informed me that my ‘other’ present was ... more

    2 Stars Cheap and nasty but reliable 05/02/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, seems reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages feels cheap, nasty ride

    Opinion based on Accent 1.3e (a 1.3i with an "e"), S reg. The Accent itself is definitely budget sector - although the fit and finish externally often belies that fact. What is wrong with them ? The demisting is terrible (and I mean *terrible* to the point of dangerous). In wet weather, when you get into the car damp, you had better keep a chamois leather handy, because the heater / fan cannot cope, and all internal windows will mist to the point of running condensation. You can`t open the windows to help the airflow to demist because the car is fiendishly designed to pour water all over the ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor plastics and trim quality, noisy ride

    The Hyundai plant is only 90 kms away from Istanbul where I live. There, the H1 Starex is built for export to the whole world also several Accent models ranging from the 1.3, 1.5i, 1.5CRDI models. In fact the facelift which made the car look like a shrinked Subaru Impreza was actually done here (far as I know) I tested the 1.5i and 1.5CRDI models for myself. Here goes : 1- The 1.5i Sedan : ------------------- *** Body and Looks : The car looks quite neat and tidy. No exaggerated lines or features to remind you of typical Korean and Malaysian cars. (ya know those colorful stripes, "blue turn ... more
