2001 Hyundai Accent review: Our expert's take

Vehicle Overview
Hyundai’s smallest, least-expensive model was redesigned for 2000, and this year the GS and GL models get a larger engine — a 1.6-liter four-cylinder instead of a 1.5-liter. The front-drive Accent returns in two-door hatchback and four-door sedan styling.

Hyundai owns automaker Kia, which make up KoreaÂ’s largest and second-largest auto manufacturers, respectively. DaimlerChrysler recently bought a 10 percent stake in Hyundai, and the two companies will work with Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi to develop a new line of small cars for worldwide sale.

Exterior
Both body styles have a 96-inch wheelbase and an overall length of 167 inches, making them about 8 inches shorter than a Ford Focus Sedan or Honda Civic.

Interior
Hyundai says the Accent seats five with its two front buckets and a rear bench seat, but limited legroom and a narrow interior make four people the practical limit. Cargo volume is 10.7 cubic feet on the sedan and 16 cubic feet on the hatchback, and both have a folding rear seatback that expands cargo capacity.

Standard equipment includes power steering, a cassette player and rear window defroster.

Under the Hood
A 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 92 horsepower returns as the engine for the base models. The GS and GL models now get a 1.6-liter four-cylinder that generates 105 hp. Both engines come with a standard five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic transmission.

Not Great

Way too many problems with this car, the engine is very loud, and the pick up is terrible. I owned this car for 5 years and it did it's job well sort of, I had to replace lower ball joints on two front tires, wheel cylinders on two back tires , left and right axles on front end, brake lines all around (steel) brakes and rotors all around, the exhaust pipe rusted out so badly that I had to constantly get a piece welded back on so it wasn't dragging on the road I must have welded a new piece on about 5 times, the pipe coming out from engine had to be replaced all the way to the flex pipe, the flex pipe had to be replaced, the battery had to be replaced twice, the starter had to be replaced, the crank shaft sensor had to be replaced, the coil packs and spark plugs had to be replaced and didn't even fix the problem I had with acceleration, the fuel pump needed replacement but I didn't bother, the engine belts had to be replaced, i took it for an oil change every month cuz it guzzled gas and oil, the oil tubbing had a leak and was replaced, there are absolutely no interior lights on dashboard, never bothered replacing the wiring although that needed to be done for 500 bucks, replaced all four bald tires, (takes a deep breath) yup I think that was everything so long story short, this car sucks lol
