I purchased new the hyundai accent first because of the price back in 2001. My expectation for this car was to be able to get 5 to 7 years of good reliable performance. Now in 2013 my accent has exceeded my expectation needless to say. It is very reliable in any weather, and I plan to keep this car for the next little while simply because it stills run very well. I am very satisfied overall as I got more for my money then I expected out of this car.
