2003 Hyundai Accent - The 2003 Hyundai Accent Exceeded My Expectations!

I bought the 2003 Hyundai Accent at the time because I was looking for the absolute least expensive new car that I could get with an automatic transmission. Though I was looking for an inexpensive car and didn't expect much, I love the Accent. It's big enough for the 2 car seats I needed for 2 kids. The color I picked was Glacier Blue. It's like the color of the sky and the color and the car are absolutely beautiful to see in person. I've taken many photos of the car and it looked great. Time and again I got compliments for the car and people wanted to buy it from me, I never expected this from such an inexpensive car! The seats have been very comfortable. Couldn't imagine liking seats more. Steering wheel and pedals all have a perfect feel to them. Seatbelts are excellent. Dashboard... (more)

Story

One time, I remember buying my own new computer for the first time and bringing it home in my new car. It was an awesome time.

Pros

- Least expensive new car with air conditioning and automatic transmission at the time I was able to buy it. - The glacier blue color was beautiful - The car was beautiful - Small, but big enough to store plenty of things in trunk and 2 car seats in backs

Cons

- No Power Windows - No Power side view mirror adjustments - When storing outside, paint has discolored after about 8-9 years - The backseat would probably be too small to seat an adult in-between 2 car seats. - I didn't care, but it wasn't very powerful

2003 Hyundai Accent - Long-lasting value

This is now a 15-year-old car, and it's still going strong. I bought it for its 10-year warranty, which it's obviously now outlived, but it's hardly needed any work. Cosmetically, it's fading -- it could use a new paint job, it has a few dents -- but I have no regrets. The engine is clearly going to outlive the upholstery.

Story

Memorable, but I wouldn't call it fun: I was driving on the highway shortly after Christmas. There was a lot of traffic, and though I'd been trying to pull ahead in the passing lane, I eventually realized I wasn't going to go anywhere quickly, so I pulled back into the right-hand lane. A minute or two after that, there was a bump in the road--and a Christmas tree flew out of the bed of a picku... (more)

Pros

It's a subcompact with five-speed manual transmission and, at 15 years old, still gets nearly 30 miles to the gallon. In all these years, it's needed brake work and new CV joints a couple of times and had an oil leak, and that's the most serious thing that's ever gone wrong with it. It's dependable. The hatchback and fold-down back seat mean I can transport reasonably large items -- some furniture, some lumber -- in it. It's a great car, and I'm glad I bought it.

Cons

When it was almost brand new, it had trouble with brake lights not going off. That was fixed, covered by the warranty. The dealer is far from my house, so getting the dealer to do warranty-covered maintenance was kind of a pain, even though it didn't cost me anything. These days, I can't reset the dashboard clock, so I have to memorize how far off it is and do the math in my head. That's all.
