My 2004 Hyundai Accent now sits in my driveway disabled
My 2004 Hyundai Accent now sits in my driveway disabled and I am crying in my soup. I LOVE this car. Apparently, now at 259,000 miles, the transmission (or a part in it) has gone bad and I still want to figure out a way to get it fixed. Totally dependable, fun and easy to drive and most importantly, the perfect size for me, unlike today's HUGE SUV's etc. You can actually see over the hood! What a concept! The car is totally manual and everything still works. In fact, it's in great shape otherwise. A mechanic recently said, "Don't be offended but we refer to these cars as "throwaway" cars." To which I replied, "I am not offended but if this is a throwaway, throw me 5 more!" The chances are slim but I hope to find another transmission and keep it going.

Buy this car
It's a reliable and fantastic little car. Parts are cheap and easy to find. I bought mine with 106,000 miles and I'm on 121,000 with no problems other than basic maintenance ie brakes, headlamps. It's surprisingly zippy, being small with great handling. And the gas, oh the sweet gas. Its a saver for sure!

Most Reliable Car I've Owned
Excellent commuter car, but the seats could be a little more comfy. I own a 5 speed manual and it's very easy to drive and gets great gas mileage despite how it's driven. 30 MPG at $20-$30 fill ups. Depends where you get gas but overall great deal. This Hyundai is mechanically sound and I would definitely get another.

Practical, Reliable, Economic!
Surprisingly excellent handle in northeast weather/snow! Responsive RPM/speed and zip. For a base-level Hyundai, it is utilitarian but attractive and comfortable. After 5 years, never one mechanical problem. Prior owner was family member and she too never had mechanical issue. If maintained, will run indefinitely -solid motor, transmission. Built to last. Lacks any feel of "luxury" but compensates with performance and efficiency.

A little champion
This is a reliable little car. Great for heavy traffic and tight parking spaces; it;s even a little zippy. I have driven this model before and enjoyed it. It has some extras but not too many, which is just what I was looking for. A basic car that works.
