Hyundai Accent.. Anyone Here Owned One? What Do You Think?

[Saturn]

I'm considering buying a used Hyundai.. say 1999 - 2003

anyone have any experience with these vehicles?

I'm interested in knowing:

Performance (what engine options are available in SL market)

fuel economy

reliability

ability to obtain parts

overall observations on the vehicle: would you recommend buying this car generally, vs a Japanese one..

any thoughts?

thanks!

Performance - 15L & 1.3L

fuel economy - between 10 to 13

reliability - Ok

ability to obtain parts - Avilable everywhere and cheep too

overall not a bad car but very poor 2nd hand value

Thank you for the helpful reply!!

have you owned/used one (if I may ask)

Since I'd be buying used, can I assume the vehicle has already suffered depreciation and I'd be able to sell at a reasonable price?

Also, Im curious to know why this brand has a bad reputation.. Is it just a perception or do they have problems?
