 I bought the Accent GL as my 
first 'brand new' car. From January 31 
to April 20,2000 it was in the shop 4 
times for the transmission, it was 
slipping as it shifted.  Every time 
they told me that they found the 
problem and it was done but after 
having the car home for less than a day 
the same thing was happening so I had 
to bring it back again with the same 
result every time. Also, I took the car 
from RI to MD (350miles)and back one 
weekend and when I went out to start it 
for work Monday morning, it wouldn't 
start so yet again, I had to have them 
put it in the shop. I wouldn't ever buy 
this car again!!
