Hyundai Accent Hatchback (2000 - 2005) 1.3 GSi 5d (00) (2002/51) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That we are cheap punks

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Ha ha ha ha!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, because it has done well. Yes it is nice to have a car which your excited about, but if you buy any car which hasn't broken down, given any major problems, and you are comfortable with - how can you not consider it a good choice?

What are you likely to buy next?

Hyundai's are quite expensive now. So i think we would get a different brand, but similar cheap car.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,300

When did you buy the car?

January 2003

Did you get a good deal and why?

The guy who sold it inherited it. He didn't care whatsoever about it and was pretty much going to accept the first offer made!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

We needed a useable car which was cheap, and would perform in all situations (i.e. in town and on the motorway). (And we do not care whatsoever regarding brand names)

What was the dealer like?

n/a

What's it like to drive?

just "ok" i'm afraid - nothing to report.

What's it like to park?

Easy peasy (imitation) japanesey

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing serious has gone wrong in the whole time we have owned it (although the engine symbol appears on the dashboard constantly = minor electrical gremlin).

What's most practical about your car?

The fact it has 5 doors, is extremely reliable, practical, and performs adequately. We keep to the service schedule but hardly ever clean or wash it

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Nothing really.
