Noob w/ 08 Accent GS 5spd hatch
Hi... new here. Just bought a new Charcoal Gray 5spd 08 Accent GS hatch the other day. Got tired of getting 12-13mph with my Dodge Ram 1500 4x4, and parked it next to the house and bought the Accent to do most daily driving in.
I have to admit, when I first started looking for an affordable commuter car, I didn't even think to look at Hyundai because my dad had had an Excel back in the early 90s and it was a bit of a heap. I looked at Toyota (Yaris is an ugly little car though), Honda, Nissan, etc. But then remembered the incredible warranty that Hyundai has and decided to go take a look at the Accents, if for no other reason than just to rule them out. Wow, was I surprised. The quality of Hyundai's product has substantially improved. After one test drive I was convinced the Accent was the best all around choice. Truth be told I'd really rather have a Mini Cooper S (I dig that little car)... but at about 40% the price of the Mini I'll take the Accent for now and save for the Mini a couple years down the road.
Anyway, glad I found this forum.
