The Little Engine That Could
Bought my Accent Feburary of 2020 with 253k, needed a little TLC. After $850 dollars, (car purchase price and new shifter assembly, rotor, and brake pads.) she rolled for me for last two years. It's 2023 now, 315k miles on the odo, burns as much oil as the day I bought her, still struggles up hills at 40-ish MPH, and even with misfires and a check engine light, she's still going. You can't buy that kind of reliability, probably will rebuild the engine and see how much longer she goes. Not the best car ever, but the memories I've made, the sentimental value outweighs the physical.

How did this car make it to market?
Got it for free from a co-worker who was moving. Was undrivable, I live in Vermont and there are lot of hills and cold winters. Would barely make it up some hills, no heat below 10 degrees, which happens most nights in VT. And you could dent it by poking it with your finger. Deathtrap. Scrapped after few months.

wont go the cheap route again
This car was trouble from the start. Burns oil like a mother-- turn signals and horn gave out. had tranny rebuilt, a year later it started to go again. performance in completely lacking. engine is more likely to bog down with more throttle than to speed up! over all, it has been a money pit...

A little putt putt
This car is slow..... It had trouble accelerating even up small hills. The heater broke in (2003). It is a cute car, cheap on gas, and it never broke down however, I didn't think it was worth what I paid for it.
