Replying to: germancarfan1 (Jun 14, 2006 7:28 pm) And I just saw a 1995 or 1996 Accent the other day--looked quite good, at least on the outside. The reason I appreciate the 10 year/100k powertrain warranty is that I typically put less than 10k miles on my car per year, and as I said I plan to keep my next new car in the family for at least 10 years. Doesn't fit everyone's profile, but fits my needs very well. I also like the fact that it covers what is probably the most complex component in the car--the automatic transmission--and one that is very expensive to repair if it fails. Of course it covers the engine too, but engine failures are pretty rare these days if they aren't abused. P.S. I have not had problems getting warranty work done on my two Elantras, FWIW. But that has nothing to do with the 2006 Accent, does it? P.P.S. I am glad you agree that Hyundais are the best value.

You have contributed nothing to these discussions. I work closely with dealership personnel, and Backy is right...with right care and proper maintenance, most cars last quite longer than you'd think, including Hyundais and Accents. Of course, no car is perfect, so some cars do brake down (but they apply to all makes). Don't let your perception and everything you read fool you  Check out the real story yourself...

What is the problem getting the OCS sensor fixed? There was a recall for it. Go in and have the recall taken care of, like I did. (Actually, my dealer told me about the recall before I got the notice, when I came in for an oil change, and did the recall then. Maybe you need to find a dealer with a better service department?) I am curious... how many of those mechanics who call the Accent a "100k" car have examined the redesigned 2006 Accent from top to bottom? And how many mechanics are we talking about here? |

Replying to: germancarfan1 (Jun 14, 2006 8:54 pm) There is a big difference between current Hyundais and products pre-98. I don't have to tell you but check out all of the stellar awards Hyundai/Kia have won, especially as of late. |

Replying to: germancarfan1 (Jun 14, 2006 8:54 pm) I searched on "1997 Accent dash" and scrolled through the first 10 pages before giving up. I found no mentions of any kind of dash-detaching problem in those pages. Maybe you could post a link or two in the discussion related to the Accent of that vintage.
