 Plain and Simple.  This is a point A to 
point B car.  No frills... but it's 
reliability has been tremendous. I have 
put 76K miles on my Hyundai in 6 years -
 and I have never had one mechanical 
problem with the car yet (knock on 
wood.)  While friends have struggled at 
times with pricier and nicer cars, my 
Accent just goes and goes.  And when 
you factor in that I paid 8K for it, 
it's been a great value.
