 I came from a Mercedes to a Hyundai.  My car had 6 miles when I purchased it.  It now has 228,000+ and I have EVERY original engine part.  Only changed the timing belt and brakes and did my oil change every 3000 miles.   My car has NEVER broken down on me or ran out of gas.  She has been 100% reliable to me! My tranny just went and YES....I am putting a new one in.  I know the car and trust it.  It's worth it to me.  So if anyone is thinking about getting one....just make sure you change your oil ON time EVERY time its suppose to get changed.  I love my Hyundai Accent and when I decide to get another it will be the Hyundai Azera.
