I own an Accent from 1998 and have only 92.000 klms. I always drive "gently". In the long term, I EXPERIENCED ALL THESE PROBLEMS: a) it has poor construction quality, b) it appears often mechanical and electrical malfunctions, c) the fuel consumption usually is bigger than this described by its book, d) it has expensive genuine parts so a very EXPENSIVE SERVICE, e) it burns lots of oils inside its engine (so, I have to carry always Oil with me!!!). The cost to fix it is very big. f) when I drive I hear sounds and "cracks" from the main body and the plastics of the car (what a quality?!?!?!). g) often, when I catch the door from the outside metal surface, there is static electricity that shocks me. My opinion is NEGATIVE for HYUNDAI.

Answer to "lml888v":
I like something to my Accent. The thing that I like is the strong Air Condition. Its really helpfull for the hot days of Greek Summer.
But this advantage is not important because when I use the Air Condition, the power of engine reduces a lot and fuel's consumption increases a lot.
So the advantage comes in balance with the disadvantages that causes.
