@@RetroCarReviews Not at all. Yes, they were cheap and feel cheap, but they proved to be reliable. As somebody said above, they were (and still are) very popular here in Puerto Rico and you can see even Accents from the 90s on the roads.
The post-90s Hyundais were like the new chapter for the Korean car brand in North America and Europe, because they had to revamp their strategy from selling poorly built cars for profit to sell something with better built quality and more spare parts availability. Still, there were cases of Hyundai owners getting lemon cars (mind you this was before GDI engine scandals appeared from 2013 onwards, which meant that the faulty Hyundai engines during 2000-2012 were using multi-point injection system). But nonetheless, the majority of Hyundai owners in late 90s until 2012 were fairly satisfied with their vehicles.
Do you think you could find and upload a video on the Jeep TJ Wrangler Rubicon? I remember seeing one when I was younger but it mysterious disappeared from UA-cam
I see a fair bit of old Hyundais still chugging along in my area, especially the 2001-2006 Elantras (I live in the rustbelt). The 2000-2010 era Hyundais were actually quite reliable cars overall. Rust was an issue on a few models, especially the Tiburon, but they aren't the only Asian manufactures from that area guilty of poor rustproofing. The 2011+ models actually have a lot more issues overall
I own a 2014 Hyundai Elantra. The one thing I hate about it is the ride. Very uncomfortable. Hyundai replaced the engine at 50,00 miles under warranty. One year later it developed an oil leak and after taking it to the dealer I was told the oil pan gasket was leaking. I assumed they would remove the oil pan clean both surfaces and replace the gasket. Nope went to pick it up and received a bill for a little over 400 dollars. Was told they installed a new oil pan. Dealer is horrible. No more Hyundai's for me, done with them.
This and the Sonata of this era is what got people into Hyundai’s. The next gen 05 is when Hyundai started to really upgrade
2003-2005 are Accent Fase 2
I like the 05 and older best lightweight easiest car to work on 2 door manual transmission
I liked the 2008 to 2010 styling so much better.
I had one of these in college. It was actually really reliable and one of my favorite cars.
Still here. My parents have two 2022 Accents for their company cars. Much better overall than these old ones though.
The Accent was sold in the US? Unbelievable. How popular was it?
Yup. And it's pretty popular til 2016
Popular not much in the US but in Puerto Rico it was a bellybutton.
JUST PATHETIC ...
They were everywhere here in the states.

hyundai accent gl hatch 2000
As bad as Hyundai's were in the beginning, I am surprised they made it, while Daewoo did not.
You never see any Kia or Hyundai older than 2010 anymore
They sold a lot fewer cars back then, but I still see late-90's Hyundais here in the PNW; I think rust got to the rest of them elsewhere.
Ive got a 2001 still purrs daily driver but uh yeah i need to get part of the frame re welded cuz of rust
