Hyundai Accent Hatchback (2000 - 2005) 1.3 GSI 3d Owner Review

This Hyundai Accent was my first car & absolutely brilliant couldn’t ask for a better car to get me out on the road after I passed my test. It’s so easy to drive & very cheap to run in terms of everything, insurance, tax & fuel costs, can average over 45mpg. I liked the fact that it’s unique in its own way & no one in my age group knew what it was, so different but sensible. For a 1.3 you do have to rev it quite a bit but once it gets going it is a very nippy car, handles the motorway pretty good as well, surprised me & my brother when I drove it to Swindon & back. I’m a qualified mechanic so I did a lot of work on it like servicing, changing the brakes as well as the cambelt & alternator belts, the car was so easy to maintain. The only issue I had with the car was a misfire but changing the spark plugs & coil pack was a simple straightforward fix, apart from that no issues with the car at all, never let me down. I recommend the Hyundai Accent a lot especially for a first car for new drivers. Great simple & cheap way to get from A to B!
