1999 Hyundai Accent Reviews, Pricing & Specs

1999 Hyundai Accent GL This is my second car, I bought it in April of 2010 with 146,000 miles. I love that it has 4 doors instead of 2, ice cold air conditioning, and the 5 speed manual transmission is very forgiving. I get at lest 30mpg. It has surprisingly good build quality-the interior has held up better than most 5 or 6 year old cars i have seen. No squeaks or rattles.It gets pretty floaty around 70mph, but that doesnt bother me. Also, its difficult to control in strong crosswinds on the highway. Im only 4'10" so i love the size of the car. Its super easy to park and maneuver. As far as styling is concerned, i dont like the front of the car... it looks rather squat and unhappy. It was previously owned in Arizona, so there is bad oxidation on the roof and rear spoiler. the only repairs it has needed are new spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel pressure regulator (all to pass emissions, had a "misfire" code) and a new air compressor, however i have a 2 year warranty on the car so i didnt pay for any of it out of pocket May 19, 2010

Well since this is my first car, it's hard to point out the fine details. I can compare it to some BMWs I've droven. Lets start with the steering wheel. It's huge and clumsy. But luckily the car responds quite quickly, which is always a plus. It's quite easy to drive, the car is quite soft (as in drive feeling). That's not a good thing when you're trying to go fast. It almost makes you feel sea sick. Mine doesn't have airbags, or anything automatic (like servo steering wheel, windows, locks), but you get used to it. It's not a fun car to drive, but it takes you from point A to point B. It even doesn't have the Air Conditioner, which sucks in summer. But that's because I have the basic one, without any equippment. But since I'm a newbeie driver it's perfect for me. I can crush it, and there won't be any major damage :P. The breaks are just freaking awesome. They work perfectly. The acceleration well does suck. From 90-130 it takes some time. Yah, truly. Mine has 86 HP and 1.3 kw. The interior is pretty basic too. Nothing special, nothing extraordinary. It's easy to clean, and you can fancy it up even easier :). And now to the best part! With my driving, I have to fill it with gas only 1x/month. If I'm not mistaken I can do about 800km/tank. For now it survived some off road scenes, regular roads, AC, and some big holes in the road. It'll work fine for a couple of years more.Sep 29, 2009

Performance is good, good acceleration, good braking, it handles good under 100 km/h, not stable after 100 km/h, its body is so weak, its clutch pedal got so hard to push, and the shifting stick makes me feel like I'm driving a 70's car. It has a good exterior look and the interior is not bad, it no cup-holder, the electric door shield not good, it has small mirrors, it doesn't need much maintenance, its spare parts are cheap and available. it has very good gas mileage. in general it's a good car and fun to drive...

Car gets absolutely great gas mileage and it only costs about 20 dollars to fill it up with gas prices these days. Haven't had to repair anything other than the tires, which pretty much began to fall apart after 100,000 miles. It is the sportier version of the Accent, purple in color, with spoiler and small vinyls on the side, and the plastic body kit.Dec 04, 2008

it's a nice city car, with good enough cockpit options for supporting you while you driving it in your city town. Medium size car with 1500 cc engine, injection, side body impact protector and engine protector (if you got front crash accident, the engine will go down to the ground so it will not goes into the cabin). One more thing, this car only need 1 liter of gasoline for 1 mile. Nice, huh??Aug 06, 2008
