    The BEST car I have ever owned

    Definitely not the fastest or classiest car I have ever owned but without a doubt the best most dependable car ever. I purchased my current 1996 Hyundai Accent on Jan 1998 with 22,000 miles on it. I still own it and we just turned 18 years and 69,500 miles. I love this baby. Have maintained it but it is getting to where I will have to call it a day. I am having health issues and Kat never did like the hot AZ temps. I would recommend Hyundai to anyone. My preceding car was also a Hyundai Excel which is not longer made. I had that one for 10 years and thought she did great but KAT RULES. Think about it 2 cars in 28 years.

    96 Accent GS

    i recently bought a 96 Accent GS with 184,000 mls and couldnt be happier. No leaks and with some minor mantinace it runs like a champ. Pleanty of power to weight ratio. Sporty and fun to drive... Looks great if you like the litte intercity sports car.
