A bitter experince after buying Hyundai Accent GTX Tornado in Dec 2001. I rarely drive on Highway, only on city roads. Covered only 55,600km since Dec 2001. Changed my tyres at 30,000km, Changed Mufflers Thrice within 40,000km, Changed all Shock absorbers twice by 40,000km, a costly replacement of AC unit component due to leak, one piston ? cylinder got seized at <50,000km, an important costly component of the engine starter had to come from Delhi. It took >2 weeks. Noisy bottom, Steering assembly needs repairs at 50,000km. Radiator giving trouble now.
Final Verdict -Never Buy an Accent if you want durability and comfort !!
Good looks, accelerates with ease on HighwaysComponents have short life span
