Property of zjailer. Added Aug 2009.

This is my first brand new car it had 4 miles before I test drove it. It is a base Model Accent ... originally had no A/C but I got it added... I added my own radio... This car would get much better gas mileage if they had either a 6th gear or changed the ration on 5th gear. The little 1.6 liter engine is at 3500rpm at 70 mph in 5th.... That was a bit disappointing when I discovered it. I bought a Scangauge II to help monitor fuel flow and mpg.
