Hyundai Accent Coupe 1.5 MVi 3d (1998/R) Owner Review

Economy
Value
This car doesn't really hold its value, but what car does these days? It is really good money for what you get.
Costs
This car is really good for someone with not much money, but wants a good-looking, sporty car. I got mine about a month ago from a dealer for a great price of £2,300 and it is in perfect condition.

On the road
Driving
This car drives excellently with great responsive steering and a firm ride.
Performance
This car's performance is very good with its 16V DOHC (Double Over Head Cam) kicking out 98bhp standard. It is the fastest car I have ever owned and will see off many many other cars from the lights.

Living with it
Reliability
I'm not sure about the reliability of the car, as I haven't had it for all that long, although it's been great so far. I find that the only problem is that the central locking has a slight interferance when it's raining while using power (electrics).
Image
This is the hard one. The image is Hyundai which is not the best in the world. The car makes up for this in looks. I think the car looks stunning due to the small multi-spoke alloys and the trim. Plus the insurance is a crazy group 6!! (which is Pukka).
Comfort
The ride is very nice. With its uprated suspention and kind-of sport seats, it feels very low (which is nice).

Security and Service
Security
This car has a really rubbish alarm which only works when the door is open, but it comes with an immobiliser. Also a flashing LED which is the most important because it's on show.
